Mr. Punch's Life in London 31

New Edition of Walker

AnonymousEnglish
The baker rolls. The butcher shambles. The banker balances himself well. The cook has a mincing gait. The livery-stable keeper has a "musing gait." The excursionist trips along. The fishmonger flounders on. The poulterer waddles like a duck. The gardener does not allow the grass to grow under his feet. The grocer treads gingerly. The indiarubber manufacturer has an elastic step. The rogue shuffles, and The doctor's pace is killing.
SHOPKEEPER'S SCIENCE.--Buyology.
PEOPLE talk about making a clean sweep. Can they make a sweep clean?
BENEATH ONE'S NOTICE.--Advertisements on the pavement.
