“Puff” on Rees.
•• Purr” still rubs it into Mr Bees. The latest is, Bees is booming along 1 He’s asked the Imperial Government to guarantee 3 per cent, on £1,000,000 for colonizing the East Coast of New Zealand I ■ Haha I I hope they'll do it! What a joke it would be I Then, he’s to lecture before the British Association and the Congress I Sorry for them 1 I’d rather walk 20 miles any day than here Bees lecturelt’s a cross between a buzz saw and a fog horn 1 And such awful flapdoodle too 1 Ail about nothing at all I But I’m delighted to hear he's wiring in and getting his name up I Why 1 I’m not I I think he’s a thorough blatherskite! Oh, so do 11 But what I mean is, it’ll rile the smug humbugs of leading colonists so 1 Bees is such an out and out Philistine 1 It'll make the Cockeybullers and the Sampson Woolbales, and the rest of the K.C.M. Geeeuses go crazy with envy to see him elbow his way to the front in such a styje I Yes, that’s nice I But the swells at Home will soon find him out 1 Oh yes, he'll be blown upon presently, but it does’n't matter!
