You'll never persuade me that that man, whose head is all face and neck, does the intricate planning and wire-pulling that runs this city. I've an idea Barry is only the two placards on each side of the sandwich-man. He may be the adjective show, but I doubt if he's the man." "Have you discovered who is the real sandwich-man?" "No, I haven't. My reasoning is inductive.
And at that I burst out laughing I simply roared with laughter, like a boy at a pantomime and I took that last half-crown out of my pocket, and I gave it to the sandwich-man.
