| A Houseboy in Wonderland, by Charles "Jammy" Dodger |
Hey! How very dare you! Those are all priceless first editions!
First editions, maybe, but the only way they're priceless is because nobody in their right mind would pay anything for them! They're cheap and nasty tat that likely originated from some dire airport newsagent.
Oh, very well. They're free to a good home, so just help yourselves.
As usual, click the pics for small-print magnification.

I know all about the War of the Houseboys. They ALL want to be the favorite. And to Kill a Houseboy? Why?
ReplyDeleteI find that To Kill A a Houseboy, if strategically left laying about, keeps the Houseboys on their toes. Especially after there's been a War of the Houseboys. We wouldn't want them getting too uppity after their little victories, would we Mistress Maddie?!
ReplyDeleteI'm at the stage where I don't want to read about House Boys.
ReplyDeleteHowever, I will happily purchase the services of a House Boy. The Casa needs a bloody good seeing to.
I know a houseboy collector in Canada who might enjoy these objets d'art!
ReplyDeletea vivid nom de plume is like a melody.
ReplyDeleteIt is so sad to see you relinquishing such a fine collection of houseboy classics... You don't happen to have a copy of "The Houseboy Cometh" per chance? I've been looking forward to fingering my way through that little tome for years....
ReplyDeleteIve just done your new comment verification and have just had to eat 5 plates of frenchfries, no wonder I'm putting on weight! Who knows what it will be this time...
ReplyDelete2 scoops of icecream, I'm quite full now...
ReplyDeleteIf you have a word with Mistress Maddie, Roses, you might be able to secure yourself the services of a spare Houseboy. She has quite a range to choose from.
ReplyDeleteLX: Maybe this will entice the aforementioned Canadian Collector to make an appearance?
Norma: Any in particular catch your ear?
The Party of Princesses: Hmmm. Let me have a look... Well, what do we have here? A tattered copy of the stage play with notes from the writer, Kneelneil O'rangepeel.
Perhaps I'll turn the comment verification off for now, then you can work off the excess calories by fingering your Houseboy?
I'm with Mr Lax... perhaps they should be donated to the infomaniac library?
ReplyDeleteSx
Well, I would donate them, Ms Scarlet, but I fear they'd just get covered in sun tan lotion...
