"Air raid," said Cousin Gustus.
Russell and his Hound were apparently listening, but they could offer no suggestions. "Kew's going has upset me so that my headache has returned, and I cannot get any Aspirin here," continued Cousin Gustus. "I know a man who was very much addicted to these neuralgic headaches, who committed suicide by throwing himself from the bathroom window, solely owing to neuralgia.
They said his lungs were simply leather." "Should have thought that would've been a protection," said Mr. Russell. "The train is not even signalled yet," said Cousin Gustus.
