[Co. Aytch by Sam R. Watkins]@TWC D-Link bookCo. Aytch CHAPTER XIV 20/45
Its tower is all covered over with a beautiful vine of ivy; and, Johnny, you know that in olden times it was the custom to entwine a wreath of ivy around the brows of victorious generals.
We have no doubt that many of your brave generals will express a wish, when they pass by, to be buried beneath the ivy vine that shades so gracefully and beautifully the wall of this grand old church.
And, Johnny, you will find a land of beauty and plenty, and when you get there, just put on as much style as you like; just pretend, for our sake, you know, that you are a bully boy with a glass eye, and that you are the victorious army that has returned to free an oppressed people.
We will allow you this, Johnny, so that we will be the greater when we want you, Johnny.
And now, Johnny, we did not want to tell you what we are going to say to you now, but will, so that you'll feel bad.
