Summary
Loose sheet from the manuscript dummy HIL.R.34 containing a pencil and ink-written rhyme, and a rough pencil illustration of a weevil and caterpillars seated at a table, a continuation of rhyme HIL.R.34.7. This sheet was slipped in between pages 16 and 17 of the dummy book. But his looks were to blame -/ He was perfectly tame!/ Herbivorous, harmless/ And civil! See also HIL.R.34, the dummy book; HIL.R.34.1 - HIL.R.34.7 and HIL.R.34.9 - HIL.R.34.49, further rhymes and illustrations.
