The hole book . Tim Nickleby had hooked a fish, And was about to land it,When—snap! his fish-pole broke in two-= He couldnt understand it* Of course the bullet did the trick;—It would have been more thrilling If it had punctured Timothy,Who was in need of A restless wild-cat had escaped,And roamed the gardens free; The keeper, frightened at the sight,Had climbed a lofty tree: The savage brute espied him there,And with an agile bound, It met the bullet in the air,And tumbled to the ground!
