Sharp, hot flashes of pain shooting through his bruised ankle. Nan ran to meet him.
Lewis shook his head dismally. "I haven't the knack of it. I seem to stand beside myself and jeer all the while. Besides, it would be opposing complete sincerity with a very shady substitute. That man Stocks is at least an honest fool. I met him the other day after he had been talking some atrocious nonsense.
"Yes, there I am," assented Jimmy dismally. There was no doubt about where he was now, but where was he going to end? That was the question.
