Never could keep money. Burns a hole in my pocket. But you can gamble on this. I’ll lay in a good stock of ’baccy, for one tiling.’’ “What ho! I reckon now you’re a blooming millionaire nothing’ll do you but the best imported, eh?’’ “Not me! Cut Plug No. 10 for yours truly. I’d sooner have a pound of it than a cartload of best imported. Now then!’’ “Well, I won’t say you’re wrong. There’s a run on toasted. Why, my sales this year are away up!—for all five brands, mind you!—Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead), Cavendish, Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog), Riverhead Gold and Desert Gold. Smokers give toasted a go and find they can’t do without it.’’ “Well, soon as I’ve collected my dibs I’ll be along again.’’ “Righto! old sport. So long! Be virtuous, and you’ll be happy.’’ 715
