"I suppose I'm

fussy..

...but I don't see why, at my age, I

should put up with second-best... For

instance, I'm fond of the theatre;

but, believe me, I'd rather stay away than see an indifferent play,

So that's why, when you offered me whisky, I asked you to make mine a White Horse. I daresay some men hold that one Scotch whisky is as good as another. Well, when they know as much about it as I do, they will think differently."
