Author's Notes: “I did not tell him how urgent the danger was, for I knew that he could do no good here, but I sent the truth to the girl's father, and he very injudiciously communicated it to Godfrey.”


Doctor Leslie Armstrong
Thought giving the alarm wrong.
Was it really more important to be a three-quarter,
Than to be a husband to the man’s dying daughter?

Well and convincingly put!

Thank you so much ^^

I think his actions on hearing the news answer this.

Yes, indeed. The doctor should have just let him know - he may have been worried about Staunton getting away from the match without arousing suspicions but excuses can always be found.

Seconding debriswoman's praise for the ingenuity and beauty of both the rhyme and the rhythm of this clerihew. Wonderfully done!
