CROSS-QUESTIONING by ROWLAND EYLES EGERTON-WARBURTON

First Line: HIS WARDROBE FROM MOSES AND SON, SPIC AND SPAN
Last Line: "I NE'ER IN MY LIFE SAW A HAM BETTER DREST."
Subject(s): CLOTHING & DRESS; JOKES;
HIS wardrobe from Moses and Son, spic and span,
The witness stood up, quite an exquisite man:
"A broker, I think, Sir, and worth a Jew's eye?"
"I ham, Sir, I ham," the emphatic reply.
"And indeed," said the Counsel, "it must be confest
I ne'er in my life saw a ham better drest."
