After quiet had been restored, Philippina began to rage and rant: “Daniel’s a dunderhead. He could live like a Kaiser if he’d mix with the right people.
It gave me some satisfaction to telegraph to that dunderhead at Denouval to walk along the river bank to Meulan, and report if he learnt the launch's whereabouts. We took up our quarters in the lodgekeeper's house and waited.
'Give it me quick, that I may go and buy bread! And you may imagine how she scolded when she found he had only got a piece of waste land. 'But land is land! remonstrated the barber; 'it can't run away, so we must always have something now! 'Was there ever such a dunderhead? raged the clever wife.

He scowled, and gritted his teeth, and puffed, and said "Ha!" in a fashion so threatening that one must needs have fled the room had there not been a curiously reassuring twinkle in his eyes.

You're the stupidest dunderhead I ever saw or ever heard of, so help me Moses! The idea of you being a pilot you! Why, you don't know enough to pilot a cow down a lane. Oh, but his wrath was up! He was a nervous man, and he shuffled from one side of his wheel to the other as if the floor was hot. He would boil a while to himself, and then overflow and scald me again. 'Look here!
The House was full. Percy and I went upstairs, to the gallery which is theoretically supposed to be reserved for what are called 'distinguished strangers, those curious animals. Trumperton was up, hammering out those sentences which smell, not so much of the lamp as of the dunderhead.
" It was agreed at the conference that if the princess can be proved mad, then the maharajah sahib may do as he's minded about sending her away into the hills.
