And now for a smokel— Wot? don’t smoke? Well, I’m blowed! Lnjewrious? No fear! That’s a ‘fairy,’ that is. Mister! The poet sez there’s nuftin’ ’arf so sweet in life as luv’s young dream. But ’e’s wrong! The sweetest thing in life, bar none, is a smoke. I orta know'! Been smoking fer- donkeys’ ’ears! You try it. Mister! It’s never too late to learn. Start on Riverhead Gold; it makes luvly Cigarettes. but smokes sw-eet in a pipe. Ditto Desert Gold. Later you kin sample Cavendish, or Navy Cut Plug ‘No. 3 (Bulldog), Bosker! Arter that there’s my pertikler fancy. Cut Plug No. 10 ( Bullshead>. Full strength. They can’t ’urt yer. They’re toasted. You lern. Mister, and when you’re puffing away all yer troubles you'll call down blessin’s on my ’ead. Won’t charge you nuffin fer the tip, but it’s worth money. So long!”*
