Your kindness emboldens me to make this further request, that you will listen to all that I have to say by way of prelude to my answer to the main charge with the same courtesy and attention that you have hitherto shown. I beg this, since I have next to deal with that long oration, austere as any censor's, which Pudens delivered on the subject of my mirror.
"I thought so, but perhaps I didn't make myself as clear as I might. Your good nature, however, emboldens me to respectfully suggest' and this I said in the most tender and convincing manner I could employ 'that for the sake of art and good fellowship, for this little extra hospitality you make no addition to the hotel bill. Let it stand as it is." "What!" exclaimed Fogg, in open-mouthed wonder.
