Lettering note
Lettering continues: 'Invalid: I've had a wretched night, Mrs Wobbles." Nurse: "Dear, dear me, sir! I thought you slep' most comfortable!" Invalid (with a groan): "Oh Mrs Wobbles, do not use the adverb!" Nurse: "Yes sir, I'll see about it directly, sir, - but (puzzled) - I reely don't think there's one in the 'ouse, sir!!"
