Just to Give It a Color.

Fogg had allowed no opportunity to escape where he could poke fun at his milkman. The thing had become wearisome to the vender of the lacteal liquid, and he said one morning: “It’s all very well for you to talk that w ay, Fogg, but supposing you had to get out of your bed at 2 o’clock in the morning ? You’re a lair man, Fogg; what d’ye say ? Don’t you think you’d put a little water in the milk occasionally?” “No, sir,” replied Fogg, drawing himself up in conscientious pride; “no, sir, I

wouldn’t, but I might put a little milk into the water—just to give it a color, you know', but not a drop more.” — Boston Transcript.
