PRAISE OF FAMOUS MEN: 8. MRS. NESBITT by HUMBERT WOLFE

First Line: WHILE THE TREASURE-SEEKERS PROVE / NOTHING IS SO BAD
Last Line: OSWALD BASTABLE.
Subject(s): NESBIT, EDITH (1858-1924);
WHILE the Treasure-seekers prove
nothing is so bad
but it yields to children's love
plus a psammead,

and that parents, ordering
children, would do well
to instruct the man to bring
Oswald Bastable.
