Respectfully declined the invitation, and was derisively apostrophized in the name of Longhome "Hey- oh, Longhome!" Thereupon I assumed an expression of court mardal, and gazed sternly upon the interlocutors. This provoked a laugh, the laugh set fire to a shout, and broke out into a yell two or three regiments in length. "He's chawed," suggested one creature with no sent to his pantaloons--"he's chawed — his face's red." If a modest man could run such a gauntlet of merciless criticism without a red face, he must be a man of muscle of brass.
