The Enchanted Wanderer: Selected Tales
What could you do with such an artist? How could you argue with a man, who in every way was your superior; he knew more about baptism than I did, and how many times one could be baptized, he was learned in names, and knew how to snore, and I did not know how to--in everything he had the advantage--he must be given all due honour and precedence.

The town barbers are naturally not worth anything. I did not know there were any, because even my dogs are shorn by my own hairdressers.
