"I don't care enough about it to want to dance with a lot of Souses anyhow." "Barbara!" said mother. "I suppose you have some one on the String for her," I said, with the ABANDON of my thwarted Hopes. "Well, I hope she gets him.

I roared and shouted inside while Misther Tom Loftus was screechin' laughing outside, and dancing round the room with delight.
Ju lit a cigar and hid nearly half of it in his capacious mouth. "I'd say," he went on, with a certain satisfaction, "ther's more mush-headed souses in this lay out to the square yard than I've ever heard tell of in any other city. Ef it wa'an't that way I couldn't see myself wastin' a valuable life lookin' at grass, hearin' talk of grass, smellin' grass, an' durned nigh eatin' grass.
