" Well, mum," replied the unabashed Dennis, "I do bo takin' notice this long while that whinever I have my hair-cut i take a bad cowld, so I thought to mysilf that now, while I had the cowld on me, it would be the time of all others to go and get me haircutting done, for by that course I would cave meself just one cowld.
