Summary
Saying "Have I been at all personal? I did not know it. Whose especial corns have I trodden on? Why not keep a prizefighter on the premises as Editor for the Irritation Department. For a guinea a week you might easily get a fellow who would throw out of window any gentlemen who particularly wished it."
