HAIR.
I'll ride in them all! Call 'em every one! Get within! And without! Upon the roof! Under the wheels! Mount your fiddlesticks and make a cavalcade. Five rounds of beef and as many butts of porter are yours! I'll regale you! Shout, rascals! --Silence! Once again silence! Be mute, villains, and obey! I am the Great Mogul! Take me to my friends! Quick! Quick, you iron-souled scoundrels! Don't you know he is in distress?
