At length we passed him on the wrong side, and as we passed him he put on a huge Mongolian grin, which annoyed as extremely." Lawyer Hunt : I suppose the huge Mongolian grin is the cause of all this trouble ? "It is not." "You were annoyed with him because you had to follow behind him 1" "We didn't follow him very far." "There was a lot of traffic?" "There was very little traffic. We are being persecuted at the present time."
