He took them to his apartmeuts and found no suitable receptacle. So he placed them on the table and wrapped them in a wet newspaper while waiting for the boy to answer the bell. When the youngster came the Briton said, "Bring me?aw ?a ros? Jar." The boy saluted and went a vay. After a lapse of time he returned. "Beg pardon, sir." said he, "but what was it you wanted?" He didn't understand. "I want a rose jar ?aw"? said the Englishman very distinctly. "A rose Jar?aw. Quite so." The boy went away again.
