“It’s a rum world,’’ remarked the bus driver ot his cobber, “and there’s parties in it wot’s never ’appy unless they’re miserable. They reckon it’s a sin to enjoy yourself, go to the pickshers or the races, take a ’and at auchre, or ’ave a ’arf ’andle occasional. As for smoking, they’d make it ’ot for them as does, and love to! Why can’t they be content to practise wot they preaches and let it go at that? But, no —not them! What’s the matter wif smoking, any’ow? I been smoking since I was a lad, and it never done me a ’aporth of ’arm! Not likely, seeing I smoke Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead), one of the genuwine toasted brands, t’others being Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog), Cavendish, Riverhead Gold and Desert Gold. They can’t ’urt anyone, ’cause why? Cause there ain’t no nicotine in ’em, not to mention they’re toasted, and as chockful of comfort as they kin be! Give up me pipe! Not me.’ Not for all the cranks in Noo Zealand! Gotta match?’’ 733
