"I have told too many I had got it safe at home." "Why did you say that? What madness!" "Why were you away from your office at such a time? How can I know everything and do everything? I counted on you for the head-work ashore. Can't ye think of any way to square the log to that part of our tale? might paste in a leaf or two, eh?" "That would be discovered at once.
