"Some visiting poultrymen expressed the opinion that corn is a better poultry food than commonly supposed. Considering this fact and the great fundamental importance of the question at issue, it was decided to repeat the experiment a third year, and feed a large number of birds on each ration. I will leave the last without comment, for the whole thing is a hoax.
For the honor of the Regiment and for your own sake keep this thing quiet." The Colonel was so exhausted with anger that soothing him down was not so difficult as might be imagined. He was made to see, gently and by degrees, that it was obviously impossible to court-martial the whole Regiment, and equally impossible to proceed against any subaltern who, in his belief, had any concern in the hoax.
"If you would learn the truth about the murder in Grosvenor Gardens, come immediately to No. Grave Street." There was no signature, no clue to the identity of the writer. Fairfield had leapt at the chance to do something. Even if it were a hoax it would occupy his mind for a time, and take his thoughts away from the sinister shadow that overhung him.

You might think, Sir, that here was I caught like a rat in a trap, and with that velvet-covered case in my breast pocket by way of damning evidence against me! Not at all, Sir! Not at all!
"I don't like it," declared Aunt Abby. "I hate it I'm absolutely disgusted with the whole performance! I detest practical jokes!" "Oh, come now, Miss Ames," and Hendricks chuckled; "this isn't exactly a joke it's a hoax, and a new one, but it's a legitimate game.
"What will not people do to believe that which they wish to believe. You, you, you! do you ask me concerning that lie in the Revue Des Deux Mondes? Oh, woman, woman! When did your memory of the details of that hoax fail you? Not longer ago than ten minutes.
As soon as Hullfish saw him, he came forward with something like a sigh of relief, and said, "Ah, Doc, you here? 'Tar'n't a hoax, then, though I was mightily 'feared it was.
