(S.Sh.)
26. At one time the question would not even been raised, for he would
automatically have been seated at the captain's table, where he would have
regaled everyone with amusing anecdotes. (S.Sh.)
27. He resolved to see to it that his voyage on his ship would be a
memorable one. (S.Sh.)
28. Ordinarily, Claude Dessard would have investigated the report
immediately, but now he was harassed by dozens of urgent last-minute details
that had to be attended to. (S.Sh.)
29. Vaudeville had flourished in America from 1881 until its final demise
when the palace theatre closed its doors in 1932. (S.Sh.)
30. "I'd like Central Austrylia. We had a book in there about it; they say
there's quite a movement. I'd like some sun. I believe if we'ad sun we'd both be
twice the size we are. I'd like to see colour in your cheeks, Vic." "How much
does it cost to get out there?" "A lot more than we can ly hands on, that's the
trouble. But I've been thinkin'. England's about done. There's too many like
me." (J.G.)
31. "I should like," said young Jolyon, "to lecture on it. Properties and
qualities of a Forsyte. This little animal, disturbed by the ridicule of his own
sort, is unaffected in his motions by the laughter of strange creatures (you and
me). Hereditarily disposed to myopia, he recognizes only the persons and
habitats of his own species, among which he passes an existence of competitive
tranquility." (J.G.)
32. "He look at Miss Forsyte so funny sometimes. I tell him all my story;
he so sympatisch." (J.G.)
33. "Pretty busy, eh?" said the little man. "Oh, very well, Sir," replied
Sam, "we shan't be bankrupts, and we shan't make our fort’ns. We eats our
biled mutton without capers, and don't care for horseradish when we can get
beef." (Ch.D.)
34. "Now I'm a gen'l'm'n's servant. I shall be a gen'l'm'n' myself one of
these days, perhaps, with a pipe in my mouth, and a summer house in the back
garden. Who knows? I shouldn't be surprised, for once. (Ch.D.)
35. "It runs in the family," I believe, Sir. My father's very much in that
line, now. If my mother-in-law blows him up, he whistles. She flies in a pas-
sion, and breaks his pipe, he steps out and gets another. Then she screams very
loud, and falls into ‘sterics; and he smokes very comfortably until she comes to
again. That's philosophy, Sir, ain't it?" "A very good substitute for it, at all
events," replied Mr. Pickwick, laughing. (Ch.D.)

36. "When you're a married man, Samuel, you'll understand a good many
things as you don't understand now; but vether it's worth while going through
so much, to learn so little, as the charity-boy said ven he got to the end of the
alphabet, is a matter o' taste." (Ch.D.)
37. "This action, Sam," said Mr. Pickwick, "is expected to come on the
fourteenth of next month." "Remarkable coincidence that 'ere, Sir," replied
Sam. "Why remarkable, Sam?" inquired Mr. Pickwick. "Walentine's day, Sir,"
responded Sam; "reg'lar good day for a breach o' promise trial." (Ch.D.)
38. "Not a wery nice neighbourhood this, Sir," said Sam. "It is not indeed,
Sam," replied Mr. Pickwick, surveying the crowded and filthy street through
which they were passing. "It's a wery remarkable circumstance, Sir," said Sam,
"that poverty and oysters always seems to go together." "I don't understand
you, Sam," said Mr. Pickwick. "What I mean, Sir," said Sam, "is, that the poo-
rer a place is, the greater call there seems to be for oysters …" (Ch.D.)
39. One, a Scotsman in the uniform of an English line regiment, was still
wearing his full equipment. "An' wha' y' think?" said the Scot in his sharp –
clipped speech. (R.A.)
40. In the course of his naïf peregrinations George became temporarily
acquainted with numerous personages, whom he classified as morons, object
morons and queer-Dicks. (R.A.)
41. In the beginning of years, when the world was so new-and-all, and the
Animals were just beginning to work for Man, there was a Camel, and he lived
in the middle of a Howling Desert because he did not want to work; and
besides, he was a Howler himself. So he ate sticks and thorns and tamanoks and
milkweed and prickles, most 'scruciating idle; and when anybody spoke to him
he said "Humph!" (R.K.)
42. "He came with a horrible picture," said the Head Chief, "a picture that
showed you were full of spears." "Er – um – p'raps I'd better ' splain that I gave
him that picture," said Taffy, but she did not feel quite comfy. (R.K.)
43. The Giraffe and the Zebra and the Eland and the Koodoo and the
Hartebeest lived there; and they were 'sclusively sandy-yellow-browninsh all
over; but the Leopard, he was the 'sclusivest catty-shaped kind of beast, and he
matched the 'sclusively yellowish-greyish-brownish colour of the High Veldt to
one hair. (R.K.)
44. "'Scuse me," said the Elephant Child, "but my nose is badly out of
shape, and I am waiting for it to shrink." "Then you will have to wait a long
time," said the Bi-Coloured-Python-Rock-Snake. "Some people do not know
what is good for them." The Elephant's Child sat there for three days waiting
for his nose to shrink … At the end of the third day a fly came and stung him
on the shoulder, and before he knew what he was doing he lifted up his trunk
and hit that fly dead with the end of it. "'Vantage number one!" said the Bi-
Coloured-Python-Rock-Snake. (R.K.)
