There is one exception to this statement, an Irish bandmaster of a Gurkha regiment, who was I think, trying to pull my leg. I have met innumerable people whose aunt's sister's cousin saw it done, but never have I had the pleasure of meeting anyone directly deceived by it. This for 23 years. So far there have been no acceptances.
Still, if this had been the only great error they had led me to commit " "Sire, how greatly you have been deceived." "Oh yes, I have been so; but I cannot see everything with my own eyes."
Vanslyperken could hardly believe his senses the widow forgive Snarleyyow, and all for his sake, he was delighted, enchanted, threw himself at her feet, and vowed eternal gratitude with his lips but vengeance in his heart. Oh! Mr Vanslyperken, you deserved to be deceived.
