I'll tell you what it is, Robson, I'm getting kind of tired of the goings. I'm just about ready to settle down by the old steam-radiator. And as long as I've got eyesight enough to look the field over, I've decided on a traveling-man or a sea-captain.
You'd died laughing to seen me making beds and teaching those birds to clean a spittador, beggin' your pardon, but it certainly was some show, and I do, by gum! know a traveling-man likes his bed tucked in at the foot! Oh, it's fierce!
William Wrenn, known as Billy, glanced triumphantly at Miss Proudfoot, who was his partner against Mrs. Arty and James T. Duncan, the traveling-man, on that night of late February. His was the last bid in the crucial hand of the rubber game. The others waited respectfully. Confidently, he bid "Nine on no trump." "Good Lord, Billl" exclaimed James T. Duncan. "I'll make it." And he did.
Your arrest has turned out to be just about the most unfortunate thing that could possibly have happened for certain persons who were most anxious to bring it to pass namely, two old rascals who made use of the traveling-man Barton's story and started the pursuit in the right direction."

So Nelly likes to well, make b'lieve 'magine?" "How did you " "Oh, I watched her looking at you. I think she's a terribly nice pink-face. And just now you're comparing her and me." "Gee!" he said. She was immensely pleased with herself.
