There needs nothing but that palace to convince you that you have arrived in the champagne region." "I do not know the building," I confessed. "Can you not guess? Ah, but you should see it in a summer storm, when the rain foams and spirts down those huge bottles of mason-work, and the thunder pops among the roofs like the corks of a whole basket of champagne!
We'd got the dummies in their place, and I was in front of the door telling my man the likeliest corner to wait in, when suddenly up pops the lift right in front of me, with a gentleman in it clean-shaven. I looked at him and he looked at me. I had a sort of distant notion that I might have seen him before, and it's pretty certain he had something more than a distant notion about me.
"A notable distich, Peter; your own composition, I warrant." "Mine! Lord love your honour, I has no genus, but I has memory; and when them ere beautiful lines of poetry-like comes into my head, they stays there, and stays till they pops out at my tongue like a bottle of ginger-beer.

These young fellows are like novices with a gun: the bird must be in a position or they can't shoot it with their pop-guns. The young sparks in my day could pop them down flying.
