And, at that, Auntie was holdin' the lead. Down at Fifty-ninth, what does her driver do but swing into Fifth Avenue, right in the thick of it. That was no bonehead play either, for if there's any one stretch in town where you can let out absolutely reckless and get a medal for it, that's the place.

I'm jist lying here, with a derringer into each hand, jist lying here kivered up and holdin' in on'y to keep from blowin' the top o' this d d skunk's head off. I kinder feel I can't hold in any longer.

"Oh yes, I guess there's no use holdin' out on me. Is the foreman here?" "Yes, here I am, Billy." "Billy!" said Greene, "now wouldn't that drive you to cigarettes? Billy! why don't you call me drunken Bill? I'm used to that." "Well, what is it, old man?" asked the foreman, bending down. "You know this man? This is Dan Moran, the dynamiter."

It has made men turn ungrateful. A dozen years ago, when there wasn't much civil service business in the city government, and when the administration could turn out almost any man holdin' office, Dan's shiver took effect every time and there was no ingratitude in the city departments.

But I 've had a great advantage in seeing her, an' I can always fancy her goin' on, while she don't know nothin' yet about me, except she may feel my love stayin' her heart sometimes an' not know just where it comes from. An' I dream about our being together out in some pretty fields, young as ever we was, and holdin' hands as we walk along. I 'd like to know if she ever has that dream too.

"What's Jed say?" "Hain't sayin' much. Jest sets and kind of hangs on to his head, and every once in a while he gits up and looks at the baby and then goes back to holdin' his head." "How about Marthy?"

"You sho' air got a pleasant place here. I allus been holdin' th'ain't no place so peaceful an' homelike as a shady side po'ch, with plenty er scrubbery an' chickens a scratchin' under 'em.

Once more he backed off fur a charge to swallow thim an' this toime succeeded in holdin' thim in be a nate trick. Instid av turnin' partly on his side an' showin' his dorsal fin afther he had swallowed he kept bottom up and swam slowly away waggin' av his tail with a gratified air while a huge grin spread over his repulsive countenance."

A couple of rare old sports, them two, with no more worries for what might happen to their necks than if they'd been joy-riders speedin' home at 3 A.M. from the Pink Lady Inn. Me, I was holdin' my breath and waitin' for the grand smash. If Auntie's driver had stuck to a straightaway run we'd either caught 'em or smeared ourselves against a beer truck or something.

'Hang the spellin', muttered Jack, 'one can always borrow a dictionary; or let the man of the paper the editor, as they call him smooth out the spellin'. You say at the end of your letter, that your hands are cold, or your hand aches with holdin' a pullin' horse, and you'll thank him to correct any inadvertencies you needn't call them errors, you know.
