'And please dont cook me, kind sirs! I am a good cook myself, and cook better than I cook, if you see what I mean. Ill cook beautifully for you, a perfectly beautiful breakfast for you, if only you wont have me for supper.''Poor little blighter,' said William. He had already had as much supper as he could hold; also he had had lots of beer. 'Poor little blighter! Let him go!''Not till he says what he means by lots and none at all,' said Bert.
