'HowÂ
Flossie
AcquiredÂ
theÂ
FrenchÂ
Tongue'
*
'Before
I
begin,
Jack,
I
should
like
to
hold
something
nice
and
solid
in
my
hand,
to
sort
of
give
me
confidence
as
I
go
on.
Have
you
got
anythingÂ
aboutÂ
youÂ
thatÂ
wouldÂ
do!'
I
presented
what
seemed
to
me
the
most
suitable
article
'in
stock'
at
theÂ
moment.
'Aha!'
said
Flossie
in
an
affected
voice,
'the
very
thing!
How
very
fortunateÂ
thatÂ
youÂ
shouldÂ
happenÂ
toÂ
haveÂ
itÂ
ready!'
'Well,
madam,
you
see
it
is
an
article
we
are
constantly
being
asked
for
by
our
lady-customers.
It
is
rather
an
expensive
thingâseven
poundÂ
tenâ'
'Yes,
it's
rather
stiff.
Still,
if
you
can
assure
me
that
it
will
always
keep
in
its
present
condition,
I
shouldn't
mind
spending
a
good
deal
uponÂ
it.'
'You
will
find,
madam,
that
anything
you
may
spend
upon
it
will
be
amply
returned
to
you.
Our
ladies
have
always
expressed
the
greatestÂ
satisfactionÂ
withÂ
it.'
'Do
you
mean
that
you
find
they
come
more
than
once?
If
so,
I'll
takeÂ
itÂ
now.'
