William Beach Thomas. Some choice quotes dug up in five seconds of googling, from here:That's the one! (I googled it on grounds of "oh no, he can't have made that quote up! WHO WAS THE GUILTY PARTY?!" Thank god it was piss-taking but how bad was the real man...??)

In spite of the tumult the first songs of spring were twittered in the hedgerow. Good news reached us. All was right in the world.
