The Adventures of Toad (14) [TheAdventures of Mr.Toad]
The Adventures of Toad (14)
" Mr. Clerk, what is the very stiffest penalty we can impose for each of these offences ? "
The Clerk scratched his nose.
" Siesome people would consider, " he observed, theft" that stealing the motor-car was the worst offence ; and so it is. But cheeking the police undoubtedly carries the servest penalty ; and so it ought.
Supposing you were to say twelve months for the theft ; three years for the furious driving, and fifteen years for the cheek, which was pretty bad sort of cheek, judging by what we've heard, those figures, added together, tot up to nineteen years !
Better make it a round twenty and be on the safe side. "
" Excellent ! " said the chairman.
