SMAD. An Organ of Student Opinion. 1935. Volume 6. Number 13.

Beloved.

This is the last message. I was going to write in blood, but decided that ink was cheaper. I am going to drink myself to death for your sake, or else I shall hurl myself from the bannisters of the third floor on top of you as you stand looking sadly in the letter-rack where never more will you find a letter of mine. Cruel maid, farewell. I have only one injunction to give you with my parting gasp—er snort. Beware of a middle-sized, chubby, dark man with a roguish smile. Thine to eternity,

Heartless one,

The Skeleton.

P.S.—Think of me sitting on a cold marble slab, clad in a wisp of cloud, dismally playing on my mouth-organ to you below.

P.P.S.—I have decided you are not worth the effort, after all, and am going to South Africa to shoot—er—convert big natives instead. Perhaps they will send you my head on a salver. You could use it as an ornament for the drawing-room mantelpiece when the chubby, dark man hs taken my place.
