Large was all dressed up in a new uniform with new cap, white silk top, blue background and braid. Large became peeved when his many friends insisted that he was all dressed up, insinuating perhaps that he was not always that way. but he finally came back to his usual good nature and said:
 This is my diplomatic uniform not that purser must not always be diplomatic, but al this time of the year he must be ultra-diplomatic There are from 5 to 10 passengers for every berth on the. steamer at this time of the year, and, of course the purser can always fix passen gers up no matter if the boat is crowded. Mothers will also get on the steamer with several children and bitterly complain when each child does not have berth, no mat ter if travelling only on a children's ticket. And then there are several hundred other extra added com plaints to adjust, so T just thought for the next few months I would put on the diplomatic uniform and try to get by"
