A Hurled1–Back Allegation, which, after a brief rest, had again started forth2 upon its mission of mischief3, met an Ink-stand in mid-air.

“How did the Honourable4 Member whom you represent know that I was coming again?” inquired the Hurled-back Allegation.

“He did not,” the Inkstand replied; “he isn’t at all forehanded at repartee5.”

“Why, then, do you come, things being even when he had hurled me back?”

“He wanted to be a little ahead.”
