If my old man got a wire like that his language would crack the lamp-shades. I'd cut out half this; for example, I'd have out 'journey, and 'nature, and 'rumours. But my old man would make a ten-line paragraph of it for all that." "How?" "Well, I'll do it myself just to show you. Lend me that stylo." He scribbled for a minute in his notebook.
