Fett, advancing towards him with outstretched arms; "but have you perused the books of chivalry, or is this the pure light of nature?" Badcock, seriously. "I never knew there were any books about it. I never heard of tchivalry except from my late wife; and you'll excuse the force of habit, but she pronounced it the same as in chibbles." "You never read of the meeting of Amadis and Sir Galaor?"
Fett, who had been regarding the speaker with joyful admiration, and at this point made a movement to embrace him. "I must have his name!" murmured Mr. Fett. "He shall at least tell us his name!"
