I was very happy to read about Baboo Jabberjee, BA, and his influence on the immortal Wodehouse in the latest post at Dick & Garlick, and you will be too if you have any interest in "Babu English," Bertie and Jeeves, or a good laugh.
Posted by languagehat at July 29, 2005 01:38 PMCan't recall where I encountered this too-brief elegy on Queen Victoria, but it's wedged in my mind:
Dust to dust,
Ashes to ashes,
Into the tomb
The Great Queen dashes.
