And the handlers have to hold 'em back so that the gentlemen from the papers can make pictures of me, and Nolan walks me up and down so proud, and the men shakes their heads and says, "He certainly is the true type, he is!"
Wherever he is, the master's business is known, or guessed, heaven knows how; and, if there is a hole in his coat, that hole is hit. Just look at the cleverness of it, sir. Here we are, wrong with the forgers and handlers. Yet they come into the works and take their day's wages. But they draw out the grinders, and mutilate the business.

"The smile that won't come off!" somebody yelled, and the audience laughed loudly in its relief. "The kick that Greaser's got is something God-awful," Danny gasped in his corner to his adviser while his handlers worked frantically over him. The second and third rounds were tame.
