"Well,, old boy, you're 'fitted out' in style, positively. Just off for your holidays?" Aye, just off, my lad." " Wait a minute, Bob. Apropos of your tour, do you know how Adam was equipped for the journey of lifer"' " Can't say, Dick. Give it up." " Well, I'll tell you. He was started in a bare skin, armed with a poll, dependent for transport upon a couple of calvos which moved backwards. His ' hard cash ' amounted to a crown only, for which lie had no pocket; and he carried a stnall stack of nails, assorted sizes, for which he had no hammer. He had a full chest, which he couldn't open; a tongue, a heart and a pair of soles, which he couldn't eat; and a lot of bones, which ho couldn't pick."
