and finds me with an empty
purse, I remind Froggy of that L10 he owes me;

(9) My railway-shares are going up like anything!

(10) When my purse is empty, and when, noticing that Froggy has got his
gorgeous waistcoat on, I venture to remind him of that L10 he owes me,
things are apt to get rather warm;

(11) Now that it looks like rain, and Froggy is grinning like a hyaena, I
can do without my cigar;

(12) When the thermometer is high, you need not trouble yourself to take
an umbrella;

(13) When Froggy has his gorgeous waistcoat on, but is _not_ strutting
about like a peacock, I betake myself to a quiet cigar;

(14) When I tell Froggy that he's quite the dandy, he grins like a
hyaena;

(15) When my purse is tolerably full, and Froggy's hair is one mass of
curls, and when he is _not_ strutting about like a peacock, I go out on
the roof;

(16) When my railway-shares are going up, and when it is chilly and
looks like rain, I have a quiet cigar;

(17) When Froggy's mother lets him go a-wooing, he seems nearly mad with
joy, and puts on a waistcoat that is gorgeous beyond words;

(18) When it is going to rain, and I am having a quiet cigar, and Froggy
is _not_ intending to go a-wooing, you had better take an umbrella;

(19) When my railway-shares are going up, and Froggy seems nearly mad
with joy, _that_ is the time my tailor always chooses for calling with
his little bill;

(20) When the day is cool and the thermometer low, and I say nothing to
Froggy about his being quite the dandy, and there's not the ghost of a
grin on his face, I haven't the heart for my cigar!
