Without Souls
I am the biggest of the elephants -- the one that keeps on nodding its head. Why I do that I'll tell you later. The habit began some years ago. You see, I am getting on. I have been here ever since 1876, and that's a long time. I was thinking the other day of all the things that have happened since I moved to Regent's Park from Ceylon, and really it is wonderful. For I hear what's going on. In between remarks about how big I am, and how restless I am, and what a wicked little eye I've got, the people say all kinds of things about the events of the day. Last Sunday I heard all about the Suffragettes, for instance. There wasn't much talk about Suffragettes in 1876.
