I've half a mind to register an oath that I'll never have my hair cut again! [His hair is very short.] look as if I had just been cropped for the militia! And I was particularly emphatic in my instructions to the hair-dresser, only to cut the ends off. He must have thought I meant the other ends! Never mind - I shan't meet anybody to care about so early. Eight o'clock, I declare! I haven't a moment to lose. Fate has placed me with the most punctual, particular, and peremptory of hatters, and I must fulfil my destiny. [Knock at L.D.] Open locks, whoever knocks! Enter Mrs. Bouncer, L. Mrs. B. Good morning, Mr. Cox. I hope you slept comfortably, Mr. Cox? Cox. I cant say I did, Mrs. B.I should feel obliged to you, if you could accommodate me with a more protuberant bolster, Mrs. B. The one I've got now seems to me to have about a handful and a half of feathers at each end, and nothing whatever in the middle. Mrs. B. Anything to accommodate you, Mr. Cox. Cox. Thank you.
