Sometimes there is not much good to be said

          "Fittleworth!' He shot an accusing glance at me. "Friend of yours, isn't he?"
          "Oh, bosom."

          I suppose this was really the moment for embarking upon an impassioned defense of Boko, stressing his admirable qualities. Not being able to think of any, however, I remained silent, and he carried on.
