The public, the stupid, addle-headed public, fatten on that sort of thing, and it keeps me going far more effectively than my feeble attempts to warble a couple of songs which you could sing far better if only you made up your mind to come on the stage. But there! After such unwonted candor I must have a smoke. You won't try a cigarette? Well, don't look so shocked. This isn't a church, you know."
I am not as a rule addle-headed; his influence must have affected me. He then said that while he was about it he would see to the chain for me, and at once began taking off the gear-case. I did try to persuade him from that. I told him what an experienced friend of mine once said to me solemnly: "If anything goes wrong with your gear-case, sell the machine and buy a new one; it comes cheaper."
"You know he has nothing to recommend him but money and a ridiculous roll of addle-headed predecessors; now, don't you?" "Well?" said she again; and each time she said it, she opened her lovely eyes the wider. To overcome the difficulty of getting past that monosyllable, I took it from her, and said, repeating it with emphasis, "Well! Then, that is why it makes me wretched."
"Now you flatter me, my dear," said Mr. Kent, smiling. "You have too good an opinion of me." "I don't know about that," said Mrs. Kent to herself. "I think you are an addle-headed old fool, but I won't say so." Aloud she said, with a smile: "My marrying you is a proof of my good opinion, Mr. Kent." "Thank you," said her husband, politely.
But the addle-headed police, ready to handcuff David Hume, never thought of inquiring about strangers who came and went at Stowmarket in those days. Stowmarket is a metropolis, a wilderness of changeful beings, to a country policeman. It has a market-day, an occasional drunken man life is a whirl in Stowmarket. Fortunately, people have memories.

'I never did see such a addle-headed old creetur! exclaimed Sam irritably; 'Old Baileys, and Solvent Courts, and alleybis, and ev'ry species o' gammon alvays a-runnin' through his brain. You'd better get your out o' door clothes on, and come to town about this bisness, than stand a-preachin' there about wot you don't understand nothin' on. 'Wery good, Sammy, replied Mr.
Better fail the law and pardon a repulsive, bloody beast such as Chato de Cuqueta, than shoot an addle-headed unfortunate such as Clemente Garcia, or a dreamer like Sanchez Moya, whose hands were innocent of blood. It was pointed out a long time ago that laws are like cobwebs; they catch the little flies, and let the big ones pass through.
Who but an addle-headed sot would have wandered up and down the lanes, like Morland, chalking out pigs and milkmaids, when he might have been painting, like Barry, pictures, by the acre, of gods and goddesses enacting incomprehensible allegories!
Their business their source of revenue had ceased to be through carrying elections, had become a matter of skill in keeping the people more or less evenly divided between the two "regular" parties, with an occasional fake third party to discourage and bring into contempt reform movers and to make the people say, "Well, bad as they are, at least the regulars aren't addle-headed, damn fools doing nothing except to make business bad."
