"Verra like a whale," pronounced the sage. "I wouldn't believe what HE said," declared Mrs. Gallosh. "One can SEE he isn't," said Mrs. Rentoul.
It depends entirely upon the advertisements. If we are able to engage Rentoul, and raise enough money to give him a free hand for the posters as well as the literary matter, why then, I tell you, this moral food will turn out to be the greatest boom of the generation."
