"No, Pybus, I have not. I am ready at any time to try it upon you. Well, Hughes has supplied the medicine, and I am going to supply part of the capital."
"What part?"
"That is another private matter, Pybus. Sufficient, I trust, to bring the matter before the public eye."
"Don't you think the name is rather a funny one?--'Aunt Jane's Jalap!'"
This was hard, coming from Margaret.
"My dear Margaret, the name is half the battle. Hughes thinks it's a splendid one."
"But don't you think it makes one think of indigestion?"
"That's exactly what it's meant to do."
"Before, or afterwards?"
This, of course, was Pybus.
