No. 60 Sudden Departure
A visitor approaches the ring from without, and pleads:
It snows and it blows, and it cuts off my nose,
So pray, little girl, let me in;
I’ll light my pipe, and warm my toes,
And then I’ll be gone again.
He is admitted into the circle, and proceeds to perform the designated actions. Having “lighted his pipe and warmed his toes,” he suddenly attempts to make his exit from the ring (all the members of which have clasped hands in expectation of his onset), throwing himself with that object against a pair of linked arms.
