They don't know the meaning of words. They are ribald, uneducated people. You call your heroine Linda? Linda what?" Mr. Jupp supplied a name. "Linda Spavinsky," said he. "She comes of the ancient Scottish family of that name." "Pig!
"They used sticks, in course, sir," answered the other, quite unconscious of what the result of his information would be, and that he was sowing the seeds of a wonderful project; and Teddy presently leading on the conversation in a highly diplomatic way to other themes, Jupp forgot bye and bye what he had been talking about. Not so, however, Master Teddy.
"He chanced to say that he could find no one to take the music copying. Well, sir, I thought it over, and at one o'clock I went to ask him to give it to me.
