XV

The patter's all bow-wow, of course, but it goes with the buns and the beer.

If it pleases the Big-wigs to spout, wy it don't cost bus nothink to cheer.

Why, I'd back Barney Crump at our Singsong to lick 'em two times out o' twice!

Still I'm all for the Lords and their lot, Charlie. Rads are my 'error, you know.
