'Head fur the nearest telegraph office 'n' I'll wire Peewee. "'They're likely to ask a stiff price fur this hoss, I says when we gets to the telegraph office. "'Buy him, he says. "'Do you mean the sky's the limit? I says, 'n' he nods. "We cross on the ferry after sendin' the wire. He has the battle-ship under wraps till we hit the open country, 'n' then he lets her step.
"Peewee looks at me fur a minute like you done a while ago. "'Don't wake me up! he says. 'I must then he stops 'n' takes another slant at me. 'Say! he says, 'I'll bet you've got next! I ain't told you yet who put you hep? "'Hep to what? I says. "'Why, this hoss works a mile in forty yesterday, says Peewee. 'I'm goin' to cop with him next week. "'Your work's coarse, I says.
In the other half is a pond with a shoot-the-chutes runnin' down into it. "'Where's the lake? Peewee says to Orphy. "'Right in front of your nose, says Orphy, pointin' at the pond.

When the Baron mouthed he became in expression Punchinello with his finger alongside his nose, his face tightening and knotting into cunning. "Pretty soft on the Granite Jaw! Yum yum yum!" "Little devil! Little devil! I'll catch you and spank you to death." "Yum! Yum!" "It's better to have loved a short man Than never to have loved atall." "Little peewee, you! Jastrow ain't short.
