I AM IN A NOVEL———
I read a novel by a friend of minein which one of the characters was me,the novel it sure was mighty finebut the funniest thing that could be
was me, or what was supposed for me,for I had to recognisea few of the touches, like a low-born jake,but the rest was a real surprise.
​
Well damn my eyes! I said to myself.Well damn my little eyes!If this is what Archibald thinks I amhe sure thinks a lot of lies.
Well think o' that now, think o' that!That's what he sees in me!I'm about as much like a Persian cat,or a dog with a harrowing flea.
My Lord! a man's friends' ideas of himwould stock a menageriewith a marvellous outfit! How did Archie seesuch a funny pup in me?
