At such times you might be of mutual assistance to each other." "In what way. sir?" asked the son. "Well." was the severe rejoinder, "you might give Mr. X. a lesson or two In grammar. In return for which I have no doubt lie would assist you to patch up the boles In your man ners." London Tit-Hits. Three Reasons For Declining.
