Slide 1

One gentleman takes up his seat just outside, enjoying the air and his book as they ride

Slide 2

And so the poor chap who was seated outside was seen by two horrified faces to slide

Slide 3

Then up the deep incline he scrambled you see, intending the first at the outlet to be

Slide 4

He seated himself on the tunnel and took once more a deep interest in his big book

Slide 5

For just a few moments he scared the old chap who drove them, and knew nothing of the mishap

Slide 6

And then they explained to the grinning old man the cause of the stoppage, and off they all ran

Slide 7

And guess, if you can, how they opened their eyes, with horror at first, then again with surprise
