What Jumbo made to Jalice

• Jumbo and Alice: well-known elephants in their day, famously exhibited together at the London Zoo from 1864 to 1882. When, at that year, Jumbo was sold to the Barnum and Bailey circus in the United States, there were howls of protest from the English public, including a song that included the lyrics:

  Jumbo said to Alice "I love you'
  Alice said to Jumbo "I don't believe you do
  For if you love me truly as you say you do
  You wouldn't go to America and leave me in the zoo."

• "Jumbo, the elephant, loves Alice, the elephant" Ulysses, 419.
