"She knows things as ain't good for 'er. 'Bout that devil-stick es you talks of.",Jerry grunted an assent, too lazy to return a remark.,"Is that the grand surprise you meant, Bruce Haydon? Sure you aren't fooling us? Oh, you are! You've got something else—I know it by your eyes. You look awfully guilty."，“If you find that the work is not as much fun as you expected, will you come back and tell me so?
