With a man callin' his-self by that name and advertisin' as he'd lecture on 'Measure for Measure, I thought I'd a little bit of all right.

I'm going to drop round to the Station to shake hands with young Simmun Rowe they've made him Inspector there he's my old pal Jerky Rowe's son I knew from a boy. Man under forty, as I judge.
