The Star in the West

THE HARLOT 115 - Won't you has enjoyed her , now shoves her aside “ with the dishes and the wine ," a thousand a year , and a flat in Mayfair - quite a lucky girl ! Two years later a woman shouts out , come with me , ducky ? ” This is Molly ; a morphia maniac also appears ,—this is Percy . Glenstrae is now the President of the Children's Special Service Mission -suffer the little children , etc. And Angela the head of a Zenana Mission . “ Think of the poor heathen kept in such terrible seclusion ! ” The end is as farcical as Society herself . Angela is suffocated in sulphuric acid whilst washing off her enamel , and Glenstrae sawn into thirty -eight pieces whilst playing with little children , by stumbling against a circular saw . · His Lordship was very fond of children , as you may know . It seems he was pursuing —it is , I am told , an innocent child's game !—one of the factory hands ; and- he stumbled .” Molly is pronounced virgo intacta by twenty -three eminent physicians , and marries Percy who is of course quite reforme Farewell , you filthy -minded people ! I know a stable from a steeple . Farewell , my decent -minded friends ! I know arc lights from candle ends . Farewell ! a poet begs your alms, Will walk awhile among the palms. An honest love, a loyal kiss , Can show him better worlds than this ; Nor will he come again to yours While he knows champak - stars from sewers . 3 1 Why Jesus Wept , vol . iii, p . 48 . 2 Twenty - three Sanhedrin judges . 3 The satire is against the belief that conversion can put the clock back , + Ibid . vol . iii , p . 50 .
