Excerpt from :The Weed: or Gone to Seed Again'. Being the Memoirs of a sprig of Old Toby:

"What shall we do, what shall we do!"he cried. "Escaping Elves to be eaten by ponies!" he said, and it became a proverb, though we now say 'out of the frying-pan into the fire' in the same sort of uncomfortable situations."
