Speakeasy
“Little boy, little boy, where have you been? Down in the cellar drinking your father’s gin?”
“Not I,” said the boy with a drunken laugh. “Who am I to drown in father’s wrath?”
“Little boy, little boy, you smell strongly of sin! I shall ask you once more—where have
you been?
“Good sir,” said the boy, stumbling through the path. “I was not in the cellar. I was only
in the bath!”
