Enquire within upon everything
·
Robert Kemp Philp
176
I
somewhat
abruptly
broke
in
upon
the
conversation,
by
suggesting
that
she
had
better
look
through
the
house,
and
inquire
the
conditions
of
tenancy.
We
consequently
went
through
the
various
rooms,
and
in
every
one
of
them
she
had
"an
hobjection
to
this,"
or
"a
'atred
for
that,"
or
would
give
"an
'int
which
might
be
useful"
to
the
lady
when
she
removed.
The
young
ladies
were
heard
tittering
very
much
whenever
Mrs.
H.
broke
out,
in
a
loud
voice,
with
her
imperfect
elocution,
and
I
felt
so
much
annoyed,
that
I
determined
to
cure
her
of
her
defective
speaking.
In
the
evening,
after
returning
home,
we
were
sitting
by
the
fire,
feeling
comfortable
and
chatty,
when
I
proposed
to
Mrs.
Hitching
the
following
enigma
from
the
pen
of
the
late
Henry
Mayhew:--
The
Vide
Vorld
you
may
search,
and
my
fellow
not
find;
I
dwells
in
a
Wacuum,
deficient
in
Vind;
In
the
Wisage
I'm
seen--in
the
Woice
I
am
heard,
And
yet
I'm
inwisible,
gives
went
to
no
Vurd.
I'm
not
much
of
a
Vag,
for
I'm
vanting
in
Vit;
But
distinguished
in
Werse
for
the
Wollums
I've
writ.
I'm
the
head
of
all
Willains,
yet
far
from
the
Vurst--
I'm
the
foremost
in
Wice,
though
in
Wirtue
the
first.
I'm
not
used
to
Veapons,
and
ne'er
goes
to
Vor;
Though
in
Walour
inwincible--in
Wictory
sure;
The
first
of
all
Wiands
and
Wictuals
is
mine--
Rich
in
Wen'son
and
Weal,
but
deficient
in
Vine.
To
Wanity
given,
I
in
Welwets
abound;
But
in
Voman,
in
Vife,
and
in
Vidow
ain't
found:
Yet
conspicuous
in
Wirgins,
and
I'll
tell
you,
between
us,
To
persons
of
taste
I'm
a
bit
of
a
Wenus;
Yet
none
take
me
for
Veal--or
for
Voe
in
its
stead,
For
I
ranks
not
among
the
sweet
Voo'd,
Vun,
and
Ved!
