'I'm afraid you'll find it inconveniently large.' 'Don't mention it,' said Sam, taking a letter with a small enclosure.
'It's just possible as exhausted natur' may manage to surwive it.' 'I hope we shall meet again, Sir,' said the powdered-headed footman, rubbing his hands, and following Sam out to the door-step.
'You are wery obligin', sir,' replied Sam.

'Now, don't allow yourself to be fatigued beyond your powers; there's a amiable bein'.

Sam said nothing at all.
