“Did he ask you if you were bilious?”
“Yes, and offered me a dose of his medicine without charge.”
The other laughed. “He made me the same liberal offer. Neither you nor I look like bilious cases.”

“No, sir. I am traveling with Professor Puffer.”
“A short man with a red face?”
“Yes.”
“A friend of your family?”
“I never saw him until I met him on the ship.”
