THAT'S ALL !
" I don't often indulge [in profanity, re-, marked a young student, " but there's one thing that provokes mc dreadfully, and that is the eccentricity of my watch. It s an English silver lever that cost mc £A 16s to buy, and another £2 to clean and regulate during the two years I've carried it. Now it's always gaining or losing with an impartiality that would be charming if it was not so confoundedly inconvenient in the matter of trains and so on. If I had listened to reason and yielded less to pride in the onset, I should have bought a Waterbury, and have had the correct time ever since. Wonderful watch that Waterbury, and always reliable. Only cost 13s 6d,t001"
