'Come to buy Spanish? he asked, with eyes intent upon the sticking-plaster. 'Oh no, said I, 'I've no money to gamble with.
We know that you were in the Langrye accident, for I saw you there, and in consideration of the injury to your nerves and the damage to your proboscis, we are willing to give you a five-pound note as a sort of sticking-plaster at once to your nose and your feelings.
