Excerpt from Nuts and Nutcrackers Genius. His temple is not defrauded of its curls to grace a locket or a medallion; and his reward, instead of a supper at Lady Blessington's, is a voyage to Swan River.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Nut Cracker Mr. Horatio Slipaway was worried. Now there are various and different kinds of worries. There are the worries of the heart, of the mind and of the purse. There are worries great, and worries small. There are worries real and worries imaginary. Mr. Slipaway's worries partook of all varieties and kinds. They were of every shade and complexion, And as every worry breeds another, so ten breeds ten until a few original worries become an ever growing host. The time had arrived when Mr. Slipaway's worries seemed, to that unfortunate gentleman, like unto a mighty Lilliputian army attacking him (Slipaway) with javelin, sword, pincers, hammer, tongs or any other weapon calculated to pinch, pain or annoy. Mr. Slipaway mentally writhed; outwardly a rather forced smile played upon his naturally optimistic features.
