Do I look as if I belonged here? Im the latest import. Sit down on yonder settee, and I will tell you the painful story of my life. By the way, before I start, there just one thing. If you ever have occasion to write to me, would you mind sticking a P at the beginning of my name? P-s-m-i-t-h See? There are too many Smiths, and I dont care for Smythe. My fathers content to worry along in the old-fashioned way, but Ive decided to strike out a fresh line. I shall found a new dynasty. The resolve came to me unexpectedly this morning. I jotted it down on the back of an envelope. In conversation you may address me as Rupert (though I hope you wont), or simply Smith, the P not being sounded. Cp. the name Zbysco, in which the Z is given a similar miss-in-baulk. See?
