(Excerpt): "The Doctor never did believe this story, but claims for it that, to a great extent, it has altered his whole outlook on life. "Of course, what actually happened—what took place under my own nose," continued the Doctor, "I do not dispute. And then there is the case of Mrs. Marigold.

As for all this Jack-and-the-Beanstalk tomfoolery—".”
