I k-know n-nothing at my age about such th-th-things. I l-l-live here and l-l-look after the v-v-vines. The vines g-g-grow, and it's the w-w-wine that p-p-pays. L-l-look after the v-v-vintage, t-t-that's my r-r-rule. My c-c-chief interests are at Froidfond. I c-c-can't l-l-leave my h-h-house to m-m-muddle myself with a d-d-devilish b-b-business I kn-know n-n-nothing about.

Want you to yoke up with me, and help me sell the 'B-B-Balm of the Blessed Islands. You can do the t-t-talking and I'll run the b-b-business; see?"
Will it really cure?" asked David. The doctor laughed long and loud. "Has it merits? Will it really cure? Ho! ho! 'Is thy bite good for the b-b-backache? said the sick mouse to the cat. What difference does it make whether it will cure or not? Success in b-b-business is not based upon the quality of the m-m-merchandise, my son." "Upon what, then?" said David.
