Well, then they take a gander and pick his neck as clean as a babby's, and then grease it most beautiful all the way from the breast to the head, till it becomes as slippery as a soaped eel.

The thesis with which Robert, drawing on some of the stores supplied him by the squire's book, began his account i.e. the gradual growth within the limits of history of man's capacity for telling the exact truth fitted in, to the Scotchman's thinking, so providentially with his own favourite experimental doctrines as against the 'intueetion' folks, 'who will have it that a babby's got as moch mind as Mr.
