An' whilst Pig-wigs war foolin' round, he drapped his deedie, an' stepped on it tromped the life out'n it." Rufe's expression was of funereal gravity. "An' then he follered me every foot o' the way home, beggin' an' beggin' me ter gin him another. But I wouldn't. I won't gin no more o' my deedies ter be tromped on, all round the mounting."
"A fine night, Perkins," remarked Hatton. "A fine morning, beggin' your pardon, sir," said the policeman facetiously. He seemed to be an acquaintance of the skater. "Reliability trials," continued Hatton. "Be good enough to start us, Perkins." "Very good, sir," said Perkins.

"Beggin' your pardon, sir, if you use your heyes you'll see there's nobody livin' there, don't you know!" "I knocked lest offense be given. How can I get in?"

You ought to seen Miss Jaynes's face then!

I guess it's the same way in the cities; the innocent bein' hunted, an' the innocenter they are the easier they're caught. An' then the wolves beggin' off, an' sayin' it was only nature."
