Summary
Small loose sheet from the manuscript dummy HIL.R.34. This is a scrap of paper with note written in ink, 'Old rhyme/ No eye can see no tongue can tell/ What vertue lays in pimpernell./ Children's game something like Tom-Fiddler [?] Bobtail'. The sheet was slipped in between pages 82 and 83 of the dummy book. See also HIL.R.34, the dummy book; HIL.R.34.1 - HIL.R.34.47 and HIL.R.34.49, further rhymes and illustrations.
