Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from In My Study "Please to Remember..." If, dear Sir or Madam, you happen to be - how shall we put it nicely? - well, not so young as you were, you will recollect a time when November the Fifth was a quite important festival. If at that period you lived as a child in London, I will wager that you were scarce dressed before your nose was against the window. Presently, thrilled with pleasure, you heard a distant clamour; it drew nearer, and - yes, there was the first Guy of the day! Clad in loose garments, mystic, wonderful, it rocked uneasily on a barrow. Its great eyes met yours with a look of - I can find no other words - intelligent imbecility; a clay pipe drooped from its mouth, it had a flaxen wig, and - O, supreme humour! - a monstrous nose of flaming red. Round it stood a group of men and ragamuffins chanting that noble, that glorious, that inspiring song: Please to remember the Fifth of November, Gunpowder treason and plot! I see no reason why gunpowder treason Should ever be forgot. Hollo, boys, hollo, boys, God save the Queen!
