_Mr. Pushington_. Muddled? Of _course_ it was muddled--you all called

me a liar before I opened my mouth!

_The Rest_.--But you didn't seem to know how to begin, and we _had_ to

_Pushington_. Bring it in?--but you needn't have let it _out_. There

was SETTEE there, shouting "liar" till he was black in the face. We

must have looked a set of idiots from the front. I shan't go in again

understand it. There; settle the Word yourselves!
