The gentleman told me his name was Jones, and that he came from Manchester, but he did not seem to know what part of Manchester, or where Manchester was.

I asked him where he was going to, but he evidently did not know.
He said it depended.

I asked him if he did not find an alpenstock a clumsy thing to walk about with through a crowded town; he admitted that occasionally it did get in the way.

I asked him if he did not find a veil interfere with his view of things; he explained that you only wore it when the flies became troublesome.

I enquired of the lady if she did not find the wind blow cold; she said she had noticed it, especially at the corners.
