Mr. Shoddy. "I always say, Mrs. Sharp, that I never feel really safe from the ubiquitous British snob till I am south of the Danube!"

Mrs. Sharp (innocently). "And what do the—a—South Danubians say, Mr. Shoddy?"


Waiter. "Did you ring, Sir?"

Traveller (as a gentle hint to previous arrival). "Another fire, waiter!"


Mr. Smith. "Oh, I was wondering whether you and your husband would care to accompany our party to Hadrian's Villa to-morrow?"

Young American Bride. "Why, yes; we'd just love to go. George and I will be furnishing as soon as we get back to Noo York, and maybe we'd be able to pick up a few notions over at this villa."
