"
IN THE SMOKING-ROOM.
"_You don't mind my telling you exactly where I think you're wrong?_"
i.e., "You obviously want setting down, and I may as well do it."
"_Do you mind just stating that over again?_" i.e., "While I think of
something to say in reply."
"_Of course you know more about the subject than I do;_" i.e., "I am
pretty sure you never gave it a thought till this minute."
"_If you care for my candid opinion;_" i.e., "I am now about to be
annoying, and perhaps rude."
"_All right, I'm not deaf!_" i.e., "Keep your confounded temper."
