Revisionary Exercise 1
If-you-can put me up for a week in August, I-shall-be ready to-go and stay with-you. You-can-have as much walking as you-like. I-shall-be at-your disposal at almost any hour, and-as I-am a rare walker myself, I-think I-can say you-will-have all-the exercise you wish, You ought-to be a different fellow when I-leave, if-you will-be influenced by-me. I-think I-can give-you a mile in six and beat you. I-have-had some talk with young Lord Robson several-times in-the past week, and he says you-can-do five miles an hour. Those-who saw you last autumn and-know what you-can-do, all say-the same thing. This-is all I-know as to-your form. But we-shall-see for ourselves. I-think-you-will own I-am far beyond you in speed. It-will-be a case of each for himself and-the race to-the faster of-the two. Oh, I-know I-shall beat you, unless you-are faster this year. Those who think poorly of-themselves only induce those who know them to-think-the same. I speak for-myself, because I-know myself. I-can say a deal on-this subject, and-I usually do-so. You ask why I-have stayed away so-long. The answer is business keeps me away. When would-you like me to-come? The best of luck to-you and to-the rest of-the family! It-will-be nice to see them all, though I-saw most of-them a month or-two ago.
