No doubt the Young Girl was capricious in setting the littleengine at work, but she cut short a good many disquisitions thatthreatened to be tedious. I find myself often wishing for her and hersmall fellow-conspirator's intervention, in company where I am supposedto be enjoying myself. When my friend the politician gets too far intothe personal details of the quorum pars magna fui, I find myself allat once exclaiming in mental articulation, Popgun! When my friend thestory-teller begins that pro...tracted narrative which has often emptiedme of all my voluntary laughter for the evening, he has got but a verylittle way when I say to myself, What wouldn't I give for a pellet fromthat popgun! In short, so useful has that trivial implement proved as ajaw-stopper and a boricide, that I never go to a club or a dinner-party, without wishing the company included our Scheherezade and That Boy withhis popgun.
How clearly I see now into the mechanism of the Young Girl's audaciouscontrivance for regulating our table-talk!
