Blither and Snooker

Clarion, Saturday 14 December 1895

And we do further arraign the same J. Pas Dil-te-Cœur for that he is not an actor nor yet a cyclist, but rather a Blither and a Snooker respectively.

And we do solemnly take oath, affirm, and declare that if the same Blooker and Snither do again venture to utter his ribald and detestable blasphemies in our Royal Presence, against the Most High and Sacred Order of Dramatic Kriticks, that I shall treat the said and hereinbefore-mentioned person as I treated the newsagent (see The Bounder: His Book, price sixpence), and subsequently wipe the ceiling with him. (The trumpet, Whiffly!)

By Order.
