A painter, a friend of ours, who had been that day at our house, copying some old family portraits, happened to be in the street at that instant, and called out to the mob, "Gentlemen, it is yellow! Gentlemen, it is not orange!"
Wish I didn't have a blank cartridge in the rifle," replied the captain. They cruised for half a mile up Broad River, then back to its mouth against a tide that made the captain take the oars of the skiff, to which the painter of the motor-boat was then fastened.

Here is our young friend shall judge. I wager my best nag that is, I would wager him had I one left that Alice proves the better painter of the two.
