Kokopup correctly guessed one of his queried words, but not the other. So the puzzle goes on.

In England it was very cold. Colder than I had ever -nown. The customs men did a great
deal o- heavy~handed cha--ing a-out how you co--ers couldn't really call this a winter,
ho ho, and what we would loo- li-e i- there really was a winter, har har, and so on. Their
accents were -ar -unnier than their sense o- humour. They all seemed to have stepped out
o- the -eature list o- an Ealing comedy -or the speci-ic purpose o- unpac-ing our luggage and
charging us e-tra -or everything in it. My own luggage consisted mainly o- one very large
suitcase made o- moc- leather ~ ie real card-oard. This compendium was -orced into
rotundity -y a valua-le collection o- tennis shorts, running shorts, Hawaiian shirts, T~shirts,
Hong -ong thong ru--er sandals, short soc-s, sandshoes and other apparel e-ually
appropriate -or an English winter. The customs o--icer si-ted through the heap twice, the
second time loo-ing at me instead o- at it, as i- my -ace would -etray the secret o- the illicit
-ortunes to -e made -y smuggling unsuita-le clothing across hal- the world.
