CHAPTER II
3/13

Well, the long and the short of it is, that Munseer Ferdinand Hyppolite Xavier Stanislas, Shevalier de L'Orge, was reglar cut out by Munseer Algernon Percy Deuceace, Exquire.

Never mind how old your ladyship is, he will make love to you; never mind what errints you send him upon, he'll trot off and do them.
