Just an ordinary pipe wif no frills for your ’umble. This ’ere” (a stumpy briar) “never goes wrong, smokes as sweet as sugar, and cost ninepence. You’ve no call for patent pipes s’long as yer bacca’s right.” “What kind d’you smoke?” queried the passenger. “Toasted, in course,” said the driver, “Cut Plug No. 10. Aint ’ardly no nikerten in toasted. The toasting does the trick.
