			Let's try it with "E"s - unfortunately, not with ease!  I found an "I am frightfully sorry" in the Father Christmas Letters, but the sentence did not continue like your quote does.  I'll have to see if I can locate it elsewhere or read more closely again.

			Hm, as far as I can see, it is: "Get on to the explanation, and make it short; I've no time for long rigmaroles." I have a feeling it might be from "Roverandom", but I can't look for it since I have lent the book to a friend...

			That's excellent for not having the book to look it up!  Yes, it is from Roverandom, and since you can't check, I'll add that the speaker is Artaxerxes.  You're next.
