- "Although he has an aristocratic name, we call him "Tuffy". "Tuffy's" versatility and personality surely are responsible for his popularity. Whether he is on the football field, the stage or the dance floor, he takes no back seat. He hobnobs with another hobbledehoy, and when "Tuffy" and "Ossie" get together, and they get going, then the roof comes off of Hell, and all the little imps and devils run down cellar and hide.
"Tuffy" has no peer as an equestrian and it's all the same to him whether he rides on his head or — er — in the accepted manner. [It's all the same to us, too.]"
