Pray now, master barber, what does Constitution mean? I hears so many people a quarrelling about it,--I wish I cou'd get somebody to give me the exclamation of it; here it is among the news too. It's spelt C, O, N, con--S, T, I, sti--consti--T, U, tu--constitu--T, I, ti--constituti--O, N, on--con-sti-tu-ti-on,--but your city folks calls it Constitushon; they've got such a queer pronouncication. (TOUPEE: Vat you please, sare?) Yes, it pleases me well enough; I only want to know what it magnifies. (TOUPEE: Je ne vous entens pas, monsieur.) Why, what outlandish dialogue is that you're a talking? I can't understand your lingo as well as the Schoolmaster's, with his monstrous memorandums, and his ignorant mouses.
