No, Sir, I do NOT think of Things like These. Don t vex me with that Type of Thinking, please I I do my best to think on the grand Scale. Not being used to It. I mostly fail. In this Respect, my Constitution’s frail. Peas by the Bushel or the Peck, why yes. Hl go along with That, I’ll acquiesce. My Thinking’s equal to It, more or les*.
