But no other word he uttered, and no other sentence muttered, save " You'll find there's none like SIMPSON'S Boots and Shoes !" "That's a strange expression, surely?" said I, looking down demurely. "I trust, good sir, that you the question will excuse." But he only looked the prouder as he spoke the words the louder, " There's always perfect comfort in SIMPSON'S J Boots and Shoes!" " Why bless me, man!" I shouted, as his sanity I doubted, •' Ti9 surely nought to me what people's goods you use 1" But he only cried the higher, with , enthusiastic fire, *' You'll save your cash by wearing SIMPSON'S Boots and Shoes 1" So I left him there reclining, where no ray of sun was shining, and frequently I wondered at the words the man did use ; thinking surely 'twas a mystery, and that some bidden history was weaving round myself, and SIMPSON'S Boots and Shoes. So then I resolved to buy them ; nay, I felt compelled to try them. And behold ! I've cause for gladness that the words I deemed were madness induced me thus to purchase SIMPSON'S Matchless Boots and Shoes !" 4270
