The Attache

CHAPTER IV
8/19

You have been a great traveller in your day.

You've been round the world a'most, haven't you ?' "'Well,' sais I, 'I sharn't say I hante.' "'What a deal of information a man of your observation must have acquired.' (He is a gentlemanly man, that you may depend.

"'Why how so ?' sais he.

That's one of your best.

I like your works for that they are original.
