THIS SHOCKING OLD MAN FROM CAPE RAY.
PETER PRADDLE BOUGHT A SADDLE.
THE KING IS RETURNING TO PARIS.
LOUIS HAD A SISTER TRÈS-PETITE.

B The answer is “A,” the first letter of the twenty-five that compose the French alphabet.
C Ogontz is a college in the United States.
D Un certain roi et sa cour furent obligés de laisser leur capital et partir pour le nouveau monde à cause du tremblement de terre, A.D. 1755.
A certain king and his court were obliged to leave their capital and set out for the New World on account of an earthquake in A.D. 1755.
A was an apple-pie, bitten by Tom;
French people call an apple “une pomme.”
B was the bite, and I really must say,
Tom was sorry that ever he took “la bouchée.”
C was the cook; Tom was always quite safe
To get goodies and tarts, when he called him “le chéf.”
D was the dinner got ready that day;
Dinner in France is called “le dîner.”
E was the edge (in France called “le bord”)
Of that pie trimmed with pastry to imitate cord.
F was the fun the sight gave to all;
In words of the Frenchman “la gaiété folle.”
G was the guest Tom was late to receive;
He came looking happy—a merry “convive.”
H was for Harry, who served the pie in great glee;
In France his name is pronouncéd “Henri.”
I was the ivy; the pie with great care
Was entwined with the creeper the French call “lierre.”
J was the juice, well sweetened by the cook;
He flavoured it nicely and called it “le suc.”
K was the kitchen, so tidy and clean;
In France it is always called “la cuisine.”
L was the linen beside each place set,
In Anglo, the napkin; in French, “serviette.”
M was the music (in French “la musique”)
Aunt played for the game of “lost treasure seek.”
N was the nurse (in France called “la bonne”)
Who brought some small cousins to share in the fun.
O was the oven (in French called “le four”);
At ’Xmas it bakes many pies for the poor.
P for the plates (in French “assiettes”),
Kept warm till the table was all nicely set.
Q the quadrille, which I think came from France;
The place where all children learn early to dance.
R was the room where the dancing took place,
In French called “le salon,” or else “la pièce.”
S was the sideboard for things stored away;
Cupboard, or sideboard, in French is “buffet.”
T was the tray (in French called “plateau”)
All laden with jellies and cream whipped like snow.
U was the urchin, old cook’s “petite peste”;
Of leavings and scraps she was always in quest.
V was the valet; at “dix heures” he came,
His very small master and mistress to claim.
W a wrangler, a horrid “mégère”;
Just read the next line, her name will be there.
X Xantippe was not at the party, I’m told;
Such people are always left out in the cold.
Y was the year (in French called “l’année”),
Which for these happy children had just passed away.
Z was the “zeste” that appetites hearty
Unfailingly give to an apple-pie party.

Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from people in all walks of life. Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the assistance they need, are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS. The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular state visit http://pglaf.org While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who approach us with offers to donate. International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works. Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: http://www.gutenberg.org This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
