"`Entered chapel at 1 to 8. King was there eating toffee.'" "Hullo, King, _you're_ all right. When this diary's published some day, you'll figure all serene," said Telson, laughing. "Wait a bit," said King, "your turn's coming." "`At breakfast sit opposite Telson. He eats vulgar. Thou shouldest not talk with thy mouth full, Telson, I prithee.'"
