"I'd like to know if there's anything NICER than just to sit and sit and sit and sit with as lovely a man as that a man who understands things, and thinks and listens and smiles instead of everlastingly talking!" "As it happens," I remarked, "I've heard Mr. Beasley talk." "Why, of course he talks," she returned, "when there's any real use in it. And he talks to children; he's THAT kind of man."
"I just wanted you to see her, sir, so that you could signify." "Could what?" "Signify, if anything happened." "Oh, I see certify." "And now that you've seen it, sir, I'll go on, for Reuben that's my man is in a hurry." "But don't you want any medicine?" "Oh, now you've seen it, it's all right.
