Excerpt from The Hunting of the Snark or the Professor's Dream: In a Prologue and Five Acts We all arranged at tea to give a Snark Party in the blue parlor this evening. It is strictly a house affair. Each one 15 to come in the grotesque costume of some one of the characters of the book and commit such verses as belong to the part. The character of the Bellman has been assigned to you. As the hunting cannot proceed with out the Bellman in command, we trust. You will not fail us. Yours in sincerity.
