The Napoleon of Notting Hill

CHAPTER I--_The Charter of the Cities_
19/21

With the assistance of a whisky and soda, I shall conclude the other half to-night, and my people will receive it to-morrow.

All these boroughs where you were born, and hope to lay your bones, shall be reinstated in their ancient magnificence,--Hammersmith, Kensington, Bayswater, Chelsea, Battersea, Clapham, Balham, and a hundred others.

Each shall immediately build a city wall with gates to be closed at sunset.

Each shall have a city guard, armed to the teeth.

Each shall have a banner, a coat-of-arms, and, if convenient, a gathering cry.
