'Yes,' said Barrie sadly, 'but it was Toole that put that in!'; busy to ears in kids' book he will like; nearing confines of forty and little more than trinity of years will enter for third decade yet heart is boyish and would like pillow fight with all critics - heavens but would give them some fine dauds aboot the lugs; wishes very gladly to meet him and his wife; sometime will come here and eh man what nicht will hae amang the buiks; greetings to fellow singer (with clearer voice) of twenty four; comrade of the Tooth Comb</text>
