G.K. Chesterton Quote

I shall approach. Before taking off his hat, I shall take off my own. I shall say, The Marquis de Saint Eustache, I believe. He will say, The celebrated Mr. Syme, I presume. He will say in the most exquisite French, How are you? I shall reply in the most exquisite Cockney, Oh, just the Syme.''Oh shut it...what are you really going to do?''But it was a lovely catechism! ...Do let me read it to you. It has only forty-three questions and answers, some of the Marquis's answers are wonderfully witty. I like to be just to my enemy.''But what's the good of it all?' asked Dr. Bull in exasperation.'It leads up to the challenge...when the Marquis as given the forty-ninth reply, which runs--''Has it...occurred to you...that the Marquis may not say all the forty-three things you have put down for him?''How true that is! ...Sir, you have a intellect beyond the common.
