Note ***** — Chapter V
Reading edition · Edition 2
'Last Monday night, all in a fright, Al out of bed did tumble. The German lad was raving mad, How he did groan and grumble! He cried to Vic, "I've cut my stick: To St. Petersburg go right slap." When Vic, 'tis said, jumped out of bed, And wopped him with her night-cap.'
