Jephson is rather bitten by a taste for all that "teleopathy" business, as the old Malaprop calls it. On the whole, I shall say no more to him, but let him play the game, if he goes to Walton, off his own bat. Presently Merton received a note from Jephson dated 'The Perch, Walton-on- Dove. Jephson expressed his gratitude; the place suited his purpose very well.

'And Mr. Jephson is to be congratulated on so sensible and veracious a bride, said Merton.
Well, I asked him to come over the fence and help her to get her line clear, which he did very civilly, and then he showed her how to fish, and then I asked him to tea and left them alone a bit, and when I came back they were talking about teleopathy, and her glass ball, and all that nonsense.
