Trust Sir Richard For Not Riding The High Horse With Me - A Baronet Is A Baronet, But A Bard Is A Bard; And That Sir Richard Knows."

"Oh, you mean the London TIMES," said the man in grey. "Pooh! I did not allude to that trumpery journal, but the Liverpool TIMES, the Amserau. I sent some pennillion to the editor for insertion and he did not insert them. Peth a clwir cenfigen yn Saesneg?"

"You cannot imagine how pleased I am with your company," said the man in grey.
