56 So with a yawn I went my way
 * To seek the welcome downy,

And slept, and dreamed till break of day Of Poltergeist and Fetch and Fay
 * And Leprechaun and Brownie!

And never since, by sea or land,
 * On mountain or on plain,

'Mid Arctic snow, or Afric sand— Not even 'in the Strand, the Strand!'
 * Has Bones appeared again.

A Quaker friend accosted me—
 * Tall, stiff, as any column—

"Thee'rt out of sorts, I fear," said he; "Verily I am grieved to see
 * Thee go'st so grave and solemn."
