The missus, she scz, spending money on ’baeea is just chucking it. away. She don’t smoke ’erself. That’s why.” ‘‘’Ave a smoke along o’ me,” suggested George genially, producing a tin. The bus driver’s eyes glistened. “My word!” he said, “me fav’rile brand! Cut Plug No. 10.

Now I’m taking it on again to please meself—and this time it’s for keeps!” Absence makes the heart grow fonder, so does abstinence, sometimes, especially if it’s abstinence from “toasted”—whether you smoke Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead), Cavendish.
