Off they raced, and came panting into the station, to find the express ten minutes late, and David just stepping from the platform of the still moving line of cars. "I know, I know!" broke in Dido, impatiently. "But dat not to do wid me. De poison in your debble-stick." "Don't talk like this. You are at my table.
