Descriptive data for this set (listed below slide images)
Show
Slide 1**
Horrible dens, sir, aren't they? / This is one of my daily rounds
Slide 2**
She was one of a group of fairies, / And her wand was the wand up there --
Slide 3**
The woman lay sick and moaning, / Dying by slow degrees
Slide 4**
When she waved a wand of magic / As a Lilliput fairy queen
Slide 5**
She thought, as she stooped and kissed her, / And looked in the ghastly face
Slide 6**
Then, raising her wand, she waved it, / Like a fairy to and fro
