hair-comb

Blair, mimicked to a perfect shrug and a hair-comb by Patrick Baladi, stops the Powell person taking an apple from a bowl because "they're mine"; he also asks him to do up his cuff links; Carole Caplin imposes a sandwich ban.

It is a small aluminum instrument, about five inches long, into the mouth of which one hums the tune, with a result rather like the sound of humming through a paper-covered hair-comb.

"I have a boot-jack and a hair-comb."

I shall now be obliged to ask the hair-comb.

All that I have is a fine gentleman, a boot-jack, and a hair-comb.
