I am damped paper, and I will tell you how I became so. In the course of a few hours, I will impart to you a considerable portion of the moisture which I have absorbed. Come and receive me. I shall do you a service. I will prevent you from being disappointed in expecting an immediate return of your money, should you choose to remain a short time longer on the paper, and I will protect you from the possibility of damage. You shall have me for a few pence, and the paper will scarcely be discoloured. Come, and judge for yourselves. I will do you a kindness, and you shall serve me.
