"Might be, Mr. I didn't quite catch your handle." "Phil Lawrence. Just call me Phil." "I will if you'll call me Todd, or Sid. I can't git used to this mister business nohow. Besides, the boys would have the laugh on me, if they heard you a-mistering me all the time." "All right, Sid it is," said Dave. "And I'm Dave." "And I am Roger," added the senator's son.
I know how to value his noble gifts, and I am his friend, but I am also his master, and I will find means of preventing my son from introducing the light conduct of the capital beneath his father's roof."
