Who In The World Am I? Ah,

With A Sort Of Mental Squint.

Epithets, Like Pepper, Give Zest To What You Write; And If You Strew Them Sparely, They Whet The Appetite: But If You Lay Them On Too Thick, You Spoil The Matter Quite!

If You Want To Inspire Confidence, Give Plenty Of Statistics. It Does Not Matter That They Should Be Accurate, Or Even Intelligible, As Long As There Is Enough Of Them.

'and How, Who Am I? I Will Remember, If I Can! I'm Determined To Do It!' But Being Determined Didn't Help Much.

A Minute Goes By So Fearfully Quick. You Might As Well Try To Stop A Bandersnatch!
