........Drugs made Pauline vague.
........She sat one day at the breakfast table
........Fingering in a baffled way
........The fronds of the maidenhair plant.
Was it the salt you were looking for dear?
Said Dulcie, exchanging a glance with the Brigadier.
........Chuff chuff Pauline what's the matter?
........Said the Brigadier to his wife
........Who did not even notice
........What a handsome couple they made.
