"Perhaps I'm hard to please
When I was younger
I didn't much care what I ate or drank or
-smoked. But nowadays I take my pleas- ures, not sadly but seriously. I suppose you
would call me faddy. I hate to be put off with second- best, no matter what it is. I won't eat a peach unless it is English. If I order caviare it must be Beluga.
You see what I mean about whisky.
While I can obtain a whisky as soft
and smooth as a fine liqueur, why on earth should I be put off with anything less
than White Horse? I
admit that perhaps. I am hard to please but take it from me, it pays."
