Elgin lifted his head slowly. "Yep, you?" Then through the haze of uncertainty two wide blue eyes seemed to meet his own; eyes that smiled to him confidence in his ability to make good; eyes that said as plainly as words: "I knew you could do it."

All we gotta do is dig up an Injun turnip out o' the bush an' nibble it. It'll pucker our throats up so tight we'll be hoarse enough to sing bass in the choir."

Mr Lawrence walked into the bar and observed a letter fixed in a frame of red tape stretched across a board covered with green baize.
