In that case you are to back me up . '' Then Uncle Abimelech stalked in . He was purple with rage . Old Roger de Melville himself never could have looked fiercer . I did feel a quake or two , but I faced Uncle Abimelech undauntedly . No use in having your name on the roll of Battle Abbey if you ca n't stand your ground . `` Prudence , what does this mean ? '' thundered Uncle Abimelech , as he flung the newspaper down on the table . Murray got up and peered over . Then he whistled . He started to say something but remembered just in time and stopped . But he did give me a black look . Murray has a sneaking pride of name too , although he wo n't own up to it and laughs at Uncle Abimelech . I looked at the paper and began to laugh . We did look so funny , Murray and I , in that advertisement . It took up the whole page . At the top were our photos , half life-size , and underneath our names and addresses printed out in full . Below was the letter I had written to the Alloway Anodyne Liniment folks . It was a florid testimonial to the virtues of their liniment . I said that it had cured Murray 's sprain after all other remedies had failed and that , when I had been left a partial wreck from a very bad attack of rheumatic fever , the only thing that restored my joints and muscles to working order was Alloway 's Anodyne Liniment , and so on .
It was all true enough , although I dare say old Aunt Sarah-from-the-Hollow 's rubbing had as much to do with the cures as the XXXXX .
