I forgive you, Nora, but it was a cruel thrust. Here comes the train.
Other retorts followed, which Reddy Clammer deigned not to notice. At last he got a bat that suited him and then, importantly, dramatically, with his cap jauntily riding his red locks, he marched to the plate. Some wag in the bleachers yelled into the silence, "Oh, Maggie, your lover has come!"
