(Francis Cowley) Burnand MR. PUNCH'S MORAL MUSIC-HALL DRAMAS. No. X.-TOMMY AND HIS SISTER JANE. Once more we draw upon our favourite source of inspiration-the poems of the Misses Taylor. The dramatist is serenely confident that the new London County Council Censor of Plays, whenever that much-desired official is appointed, will highly approve of this little piece on account of the multiplicity of its morals. It is intended to teach, amongst other useful lessons, that-as the poem on which it is founded puts it-"Fruit in lanes is seldom good"; also, that it is not always prudent to take a hint; again, that constructive murder is distinctly reprehensible, and should never be indulged in by persons who cannot control their countenances afterwards. Lastly, that suicide may often be averted by the exercise of a little savoir vivre. Characters. Tommy and his Sister Jane (Taylorian Twins, and awful examples). Their Wicked Uncle (plagiarised from a forgotten Nursery Story, and slightly altered). Old Farmer Copeer (skilled in the use of horse and cattle medicines). Scene-A shady lane; on the right, a gate, leading to the farm; left, some bushes, covered with practicable scarlet berries. Enter the Wicked Uncle, stealthily.

Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with a book that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work.
