Nothing annoys a man more than to be
eagerly questioned when he comes home tired.
Give hin neatly served dinner, Or a pair of
sysslippers and cup Of tea, and let him eat

you, Of his own proper motion, all you wish to
know. But if you begin the attack too soon
the chances are that you will be rewarded by
CURLY spoken monosyllablcs. Put down that
