A Victorian Christmas Advent Calendar: 23rd December

“Ruddock Manor is fuller than ever, I think,
There is Goldfinch the banker and little Lord Spink,
Tom Titter is here, and Sir Twitterty Tweet
And that gay Captain Lark (oh, isn’t he sweet?)”
From ‘The Twigs, or, Christmas at Ruddock Hall’, illustrated by Robert Dudley (classmark 1890.7.1438)
