The Attache

CHAPTER VIII
12/18

I'd make 'em howl, first wicked and then dismal, I know.
"But they can't do it, to save their souls alive; some has it in 'em and can't get it out, physic 'em as you would, first with vanity, and then with office; others have got a way out, but have nothin' to drive thro' the gate; some is so timid, they can't go ahead; and others are in such an infarnal hurry, they spend the whole time in false starts.
"No, there, is no good oratory to parliament now, and the English brag so, I doubt if it ever was so good, as they say it was in old times.

At any rate, it's all got down to "Bunkum" now.

It's makin' a speech for newspapers and not for the House.

Then, what a row they make, don't they?
Hear, hear, hear; divide, divide, divide; oh, oh, oh; haw, haw, haw.
