(BY "NO QUARTER ")
I have a Hate on this week. I have a profound dislike of every- body, or almost everybody. To-day, my trollops, vitriol will drip from my pen like Hydr-Cyarilo sold from the reluctant mouth of a pipette. · So grave was my mental state yesterday that I placed an insulting notice on my front door and retired to bed. It read:—
NOTICE
The Occupant Of This House Is Dead, And Must Not Be Disturbed
The reason for his decease was the fact that he swallowed eleven bags of nails after a cricket match, and succumbed to an attack of Robinson's disease, better known as Ghirge.
Mr. Rudolph Termagant has said:-
"Never Be Out To An Honest Caller. Or A Siberian Yak.” What this may mean, I have no idea, but if you are hungry, ring
the bell, and Bellow for a bag of enormous dessicated nuts.
"Nobody called except a man to check the gas meter, and a woman

The first thing to remember about these interesting fry,

And an equally tireless devotion to Old Tom, and McNish's. "They own numbers of racehorses, many of which they display with
considerable pride,"
Bat are themselves neither able nor desirous to ride.
Their wives and daughters are possessed of unconquerable virtue: as
a matter of fact.
They are most of them so plain that no-one would dream of at-s
tempting such an Act.
They make up for their lack of physical charm by rizld adherence
to an elaborate Social Code,...
Which defnes the relative Social importance of people who live on
the Peak and, say, Bowen Road.
(Though most of the people they write down as beyond the pale,
and quite frightful,
and perfectly delightful)
The Talpans' brains are quicky and so profoundly, alert, we Belleve they invariably get away from the office by eleven thirty/ And when not engaged in these almost insurmountable labours, They act, för a purely nominal sun, as Directors of several com-"

They are surprisingly patriotic, and believe that the inhabitants of

But although a few years ago it would have made them swoon," "Some" of them have now "heard" of Kowloon:
(Of course they will never realize it as a good thing. But only as a small village on the way to Fanling).
To sum up, although every abominable penpusher who has tried to destroy paper has jeered at them; and although they are al- ways getting raps over the Knuckles, metaphorical black eyes. and even kicks on the behind,.
"They never seem to mind.
