Victorian Whistle

The whistle was a peculiar device that hung from the neck of every respectable gentleman and lady during those staid times. It emitted a high-pitched sound, like the shrill cry of a bird, when pressed by the thumb. The Victorians prized their whistles highly, regarding them as an indispensable tool for summoning help in times of distress or announcing one's presence to others from afar.
