He was impatient as the jest elaborately rolled on to its denouement. "Of course he may have been meeting a girl," they said, and "No, I think he was waiting for his old roommate, Sir Jerusalem Doak." He exploded, "Oh, spring it, spring it, you boneheads! What's the great joke?" "Hurray! George is peeved!" snickered Sidney Finkelstein, while a grin went round the table.
You can do better you must do better! Why, old man, you will lose your grip if you don't beat him!" "You do not expect impossibilities, do you?" "No, but " "Would you go back on me if I lost this match?" "You know better, Frank! I would stick by you under any circumstances!" "Then I shall not feel so bad about losing it."
