"It isn't ordinary civility," said Mr. Polly. "Got to unpack 'ow it suits me. Can't unpack with the stror blowing into one's eyes." "Needn't unpack like a pig rooting for truffles, need you?"

'Why, as to that, said the messenger, 'it was handed to me by no less a person than Dicky Rumbold himself, and in the presence of others whom it's not for me to name.
