Scholarly Remarks and Key Set Data

Remarks

1. Eight little boys from School are we:
Happy that our Country’s free
Eight little boys from School
One’s taking care of the Camera’s works:
Outside of the Picture he therefore lurks.
One is quite English, so he looks glum;
The rest of the lot look decidedly rum.
Eight little boys from School.
