President. "Prolonged feshtivitish!" Thash good, that ish!

Very prolonged, ole f'ler, an' awf'ly feshtive!

Tzar. Yesh, tha' what shtruck me! (Aside.) But I really wish

He wouldn't gush. Romanoff pride turns reshtive!

President. Sho glad it shtruck you sho! An' nurrer thing

You mush ha' notish'd. Feeling of fraternity

All over shop! I shay, may friendship's wing

Ne'er moult a feather, not to all eternity.

Tzar. I echosh tha' fine Shwiveller shentiment

Entirely! (Aside.) I must not appear too sober.
