"It certainly is a ring tailed dandy," she admitted musically. "You aren't Mr. Leland, are you?" Dart laughed too, his amusement apparently as genuine as hers, and entirely unabashed by the unconcealed appraisal of her glance at him. "You're joshing," he retorted, coming closer so that while he could look at her he could turn his coat tails to the fire.
Say, Hinkle, there isn't any use of talking I'm on the a la carte to wear brown duds and goggles in a whiz wagon, or marry a duke at least. Still, I somehow hate to break out of the old cage. I've been cashiering so long I feel funny doing anything else. I'll miss joshing the fellows awfully when they line up to pay for the buckwheats and. But I can't let this chance slide.
Commander Joshing and Lieutenant Prattent, R.N., of the former nation, "were cheated by the donkey women, and thought themselves extremely fortunate to have escaped with their lives from the effects of Capri vintage. The landlord was an old Cossack."

"Are you joshing me?" "No, honest. That New Year's eve with the blizzard raging outside, and that bright crowded hall, and all you boys just home from France.
What about the 'Prince of Crooks'? Artistry in crime, wasn't it, you said?"
