ho thanked them for the good luck they had thrust upon him. JOSEPHINE, only one of that great multitude of women who carried a heart which was broken by the ambitions of a man. JUDAS, suicide. JUDY, Mrs. Punch, but usually unconventionally called by her first name. She suffered considerable annoyance at the hands of her husband, although she frequently hen-pecked him.
