We construct asymptotic solutions for a series of pendant drops motivated by the well-known sketches of Lord Kelvin [Nature, 34 (1886), pp. 270 272, 290 294, 366 369]. We show that each successive drop has a complicated asymptotic structure which is resolved using the method of matched asymptotic expansions.
