Hide and Seek, 1873. Illustration to a poem by John Latey. 'You naughty prying children, shame! Have you not heard of Peeping Tom? And what a byword he became, A mark of scorn through Christendom? From you, Miss Jenny, I expected Far other conduct, I confess; But there, thank goodness, you're detected, For here comes your prim governess; And such a lecture she'll be reading Of what decorous is and fitting, She'll scold you well for your ill-breeding: There - there - you'd better all be flitting!' From "Illustrated London News", 1873.
