Your cheek is more monumental and adamantine than the pyramids of Egypt, and in my entire experience I have never known anything like it. Your unblushing cheek and impudence was never equalled unless it was by the stolid indifference and hardened aspect of a confederate mule that lived on scrap iron and wagon tires during the war.
