'The right reverend, the Lord Bishop of Slickville: wouldn't it look well on the back of a letter, eh? or your signature to one sent to me, signed 'Joshua Slickville. It sounds better, that, than 'Old Minister, don't it?" "Oh, if you go for to talk that way, Sam, I am done; but I will shew you that the Tories are the men to govern this great nation. A Tory I may say 'noscitur a sociis."
