‘What an incomprehensible people you are, Jasper.’

‘We are rather so, brother; indeed, we have posed wiser heads than yours before now.’

‘You seem to care for so little, and yet you rove about a distinct race.’

‘I say, brother!’

‘Yes, Jasper.’

‘What do you think of our women?’

‘They have certainly very singular names, Jasper.’

‘Names! Lavengro! However, brother, if you had been as fond of things as of names, you would never have been a pal of ours.’

‘What do you mean, Jasper?’

‘A’n’t they rum animals?’
