“So sorry!” I regret. In distant midnight I could hear rural hose-carriage approaching with gongs. “Maybe there was no fire, but this were very useful practice. Also I was enabled to show you the iced quality of my intelligence. If there had been some fire, I should put it out!”
“You have put nearly everything else out,” sorrowfully Hon. Mrs., looking outside to moonlight where the entire interior of her home lay scrambled on the lawn.
Hon. Fogg gargle with his teeth.
“Since you are so talented at putting things out,” he suggest, “perhaps you can place yourself elsewheres with immediate rapidness.”
I oblige. When nextly observed, I were setting in R. R. Station awaiting for morning train and feeling quite roasted.
Hoping you are the same,
Yours truly,
Hashimura Togo.
