is specially treated to insure against tongue bite.
“It's a cinch to roll a firm, trim cigarette with crimp cut
Prince Albert," says Bill Peters. “P. A. holds in the paper

“Right," Mr. Eliot agreed. "Oh,

age Mr. Flipp from giving you that
pup, but he was very determined.
Please don't think I was involved
in that generous move."
“We didn't think you were,"
Andy told him. “I’ve got to go now."
"Once Mr. Flipp makes up his

on his spectacles again, "he is a

that you should have a dog.” He
