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."
