"N-no," he said, "you bet I don't.","All right, Mary," he agreed, his hand on the door-latch.,“Now you see what silly nincompoops you are—never believing a single thing I tell you.”，"Pray for me," he says.，The man swore and said something to his companion.

That’s the hardest work of all,” Billy complimented.,Now, Mickey's idea of "raal grand" scenery is the kitchen fire. Bays and rocks and moonlight, and such like comfortless stuff, would be designated by him as "all my eye an' Betty Martin." He would consider the bluest water that ever rolled a poor thing if compared to the water that boiled in the big kettle, and sadly inferior to such cold water as might contain a "dhrop of the crather."
