"I'm burning hot," he said; "it's a touch of what is it? erethism." His voice was hoarse, and his Remarks, like the Man of Kent's, were Rambling. "Where do you come from?" he said. "I come from Woking," I replied, "and my nature is Wobbly. I love my love with a W because she is Woluptuous.

And I'm going down to Woking to-morrow to spend the week-end with a girl I met here who's knocked up in munition-work. Don't expect me till you see me. But I daresay I shan't be later than Friday.
