I'm not saying a word against the late I can't remember his name; never could but you shouldn't have done it, an artist like you. Shall I ever forget the way you used to knock them with "Rumpty-tiddley-umpty-ay"? 'Ah! how wonderful you were in that act, Joe. Aunt Julia sighed. 'Do you remember the back-fall you used to do down the steps?
In a few minutes more the back-fall was again turned off, and the miller was helping them to get their boat out. The Bonnie Annie was found uninjured. Only the oars and stretchers had floated down the stream, and were never heard of again. Alec had a terrible scolding from his mother for getting Annie into such mischief.

I always have said that you did the best back-fall in the profession. 'I couldn't do it now! 'Do you remember how we put it across at the Canterbury, Joe? Think of it!
