Had Him There.—Uncle Jim. Here's half a mince pie for you, Tommy. I need hardly remind a person of your classical culture that "the half is greater than the whole!"
Tommy. Quite so, uncle. But, as I'm not very hungry, I'll only take a whole one.
An Eye to the Main Chance.—The Major. You're a very nice fellow, Tommy! Don't most people tell you so?
Tommy. Yes, they does. And they often gives me something!
