"O, Mr T, I've such an 'eadache?" "So you may have," replied Mr T, sitting down doggedly. In the meantime Mr Smith entered, leading Lord Babbleton, a boy of twelve or thirteen years old, shy, awkward, red-haired, and ugly, to whom Mr Smith was tutor.
"We are ready for dinner, Mr Turnbull." "Snobbs, get dinner dressed up," said Mr T to the butler. "O, Mr T, I've such an 'eadache."
