I'm utterly certain you can't," with a glance of admiration.

"Why he's callin' us all the mean things he knows, I guess," laughed Billy. "We're in his way, you see." "An' the punt too?" he asked. "An' his coat has two inside pockets, an' mine only one." "Hence the value of being able to make a leg in your opinion, madam," said General Groves..
