Summary
Loose sheet from the manuscript dummy HIL.R.34 containing a pencil-written rhyme, and a rough pencil illustration of a mouse trying on a pair of gloves. This sheet was slipped in between pages 10 and 11 of the dummy book. This rhyme is a continuation of HIL.R.34.1. I tried them/ (Quite inside them)/ They were much too big for me./ I wear gloves/ With one button hole/ When I go out to tea! See also HIL.R.34, the dummy book; HIL.R.34.1 and HIL.R.34.3 - HIL.R.34.49, further rhymes and illustrations.
