Old Primrose 121

One of the Council—the cobbler—fancied
he add see some resemblance to a primrose
when he nearly shut his eyes; but the other
two members—the hedger-and-ditcher, and
the tinker—did not agree with him. They
adjourned the case to think it over, and
finally decided that old Primrose was xot
like a primrose, except in the colour of the
whites of his eyes. So he had to pay his
own costs, and Daisy Tinkler was set at
liberty.
