The New Fiction

G. K. Chesterton

“Leave them alone”, we seem to hear Mr. Galsworthy say of his Young People.
—From a Review by Mr. Bettany

Little Blue-Fits has lost his wits,
And doesn’t know where to find them;
Leave them alone and they’ll come home,
And leave their tales behind them.

The remarkable tales, with remarkable sales,
And Bonnets and Bees in disorder;
For the Bonnets we view are exceedingly Blue,
And decidedly over the Border.
