Part 2

This abill Animal is wonderfull strong and shrood and it can Jump up and carry the whole house along with it if it likes to. It is very sollid and watey and has got a large dessenting body behind it. It knows all about "howdahs and rajahs and things" and it can turn pounds and shillings into roopees while you wait. It knows the diffrence bitween a millitry road and a footpath and if it made it itself or if someone else did—which is more than _some_ peeple do. It can make the Jorgiehammle wish he had never had a birthday. It is a very nice corteer and queens like it imensely. It wears a indian shorl on state occajions, it doesnt fancy kilts. It is leeder of the libbral party—so is about half a dozen others too—they all do it at once but it dosnt matter much Just now]

The Kortnee

N^o 40.

(Mr. Leonard Courtney.)

I wish the riting would not come so long but I'm ackwiring such profishensy that I cant bring myself to short ones.

The Padd

N^o 41.

(M. Paderewski.)

Isnt it rather a sub-aubern tipe of face—not quite what you would exspeckt considdring the fuss.

The Thrums

N^o 42.

(Mr. J. M. Barrie.)

I dont mean to say he doesnt bat very nice but he might _just as well_ go for _long drives_ out into the country.

The Tobymp or Luciwits

N^o 43.

(Mr. H. W. Lucy.)

I had to leave ^{the} ralings out or else you wouldnt have seen him at all

The Weeda

N^o 44.

("Ouida.")

I had no idea I could do hair so natcheral as this or I would have done it bifore.

The Tree

N^o 45.

(Mr. Beerbohm Tree.)

Isnt he nice and willowy. It takes a very clothes study of anattemy to draw pessitions like this.

The Lorryit

N^o 46.

(Mr. Alfred Austin.)

I meant to have drorn him trying to get over a very rustick stile he's got but I quite forgot. It dosnt matter does it.

The Ellen

N^o 47.

(Miss Ellen Terry.)

I am told Miss Louie Freer is very much hurt at been passed over for this one but hers is a diffrent stile of luvliness—more like a _Wattow_.

The Sarabee

N^o 48.

(Madame S. Bernhardt.)

This one seems to combine the suttle charm of a Rumney with the deckretive effeckt of a "peraffleite".

The Villistanph

N^o 49.

(Mr. Villiers Stanford.)

I havnt done justiss to the quire. I havnt quite caught the look of aggytashen and holy enthewsiasum in there eyes—the mouths took up nearly all the room in the face.

The Octavus

N^o 50.

(Sir Henry Thompson.)

This is "a studdy of exspreshen worthy of the best peeriads of english art" so "the stewdio" says "The impassetoe is very fine" it says. I should never have thaught of that.

The Phil

N^o 51.

(Mr. Phil May.)

I exspeckt I shall have to pressent this to the Nashnal Portret Gallry—then I shall be handed down as his "_muniffisent dona_."

The Wunnudiddit

N^o 52.

(The Perpetrator, E. T. R.)

I fear this will be a dredfull shock to _some_ but they say I musnt tryfle with peaple's effecktions any longer. It seems a pitty to have to rellinquish my "incoggnetow."
