"Why, certainly," said Brenda, as she rang for tea; "I'm just sure that Poppa never has such a good time as when he thinks he's tearing one of Professor Marmion's theories into little pieces and dancing on them, and I shouldn't wonder if Professor Marmion didn't feel about the same."
"You must remember that I never said I would nor anything like it; not one little wee mite. I thought you just wanted me to speak to poppa." "Of course I supposed you'd do that," he allowed.

ZOZIM. The old uns prefer Mahometans. Whats wrong with that? THE ENVOY.

Looks like history, too, and change, and contrast, and the different varieties of the human lot." "I see what you mean, poppa," I said.
