THE NEW DOLL'S HOUSE: 9. THE STAFF by HUMBERT WOLFE

First Line: BECAUSE AS SERVANTS / FOR THE PALACE
Last Line: "PICKWICK PAPERS."
Subject(s): CARROLL, LEWIS (1832-1898); DICKENS, CHARLES (1812-1870); DODGSON, CHARLES LUTWIDGE;
BECAUSE as servants
for this palace
we'll have the footmen
out of "Alice"
(but not, I think, the
cook, unless
we're short of pepper)
and -- oh yes!
to see that people
use the scrapers,
the housemaid out of
"Pickwick Papers."
