I presoom you'd throw your boot-jack at me and threaten to part with me, and how mean that would be in you when I did it at your request. 'Tain't anything any woman would go into if she wuz let alone." "And then think of the thrashers and silo fillers comin' in hungry as bears, what would they say?

'That's as much beyond me as this! Zigler slapped a fat Debrett on the table. 'But I presoom this unreal Law Lord Lundie is kind o' real in his decisions? I judged so. And one more question.
