Sentence
The Threehundredandeightythird
It was only an acheiropoieton,
The image on his handkerchief -
But the doughty lass looked him straight in the eye,
Saw the Beltane pin that he wore in his tie,
And the Tulipomania crystal flute that swung from the chain of his
watch, forby,
She said: “ma wean's restless, the sitter can't stop, so I'm sorry,
I'll have to fly, goodbye!”
Opened his case, took out a cigar, lit it and left the wee café with
an overwhelming sense of great relief.
