"Cut all that," dryly interrupted Orr Tweet. "All right, sir," replied the clerk cheerfully. "Main contractors, Demarest, Spruce & Tillou. Want fifty muckers and fifty skinners two jerkline skinners must be A-1. Fifty-five a month and found. Fee two dollars. Ship you out one o'clock to-morrow. On?" Tweet nudged Hiram and nodded, and Hiram tendered four silver dollars.
Jimmy learned that the driver was a foreman at the Sayers plant and was very enthusiastic about the merits of the car. "It's not old enough or advertised enough to be well known yet," he said, "but she will be. I know. Been in automobile factories all my life. Worked for some of the best of 'em. These are A-1. And Sayers is a live one. Fine old feller, too. That's his house up there on the hill.
"Stern, my boy," said he, "here's where you get an A-1, first-class dip!" A minute later, stripped to the buff, the man lay splashing vigorously in the water. From top to toe he scrubbed himself vigorously with the fine, white sand. And when, some minutes later, he rose up again, the tingle and joy of life filled him in every nerve.
They were issued by a well-to-do little town out West. You know, western bonds are really A-1 property, but the people in the East haven't yet got their eyes open to the value of property west of the Rockies. "Well; when I reached this town, one of my friends tipped me onto one of my competitors who, he said, was going to be in that same town that afternoon.
It was the first time I had seen Schnitzel show emotion, and I was moved to preach. "Why don't you quit?" I said. "You had an A-1 job as a stenographer. Why don't you go back to it?" "Maybe, some day. But it's great being your own boss. If I was a stenographer, I wouldn't be helping you send in a report to the State Department, would I? No, this job is all right.
And I want you to do a little mite of favor for me. Will you?" "What is it? If it has anything to do with the Lane, I tell you now that " "It ain't it ain't. It's about that bookkeepin' job in the bank, Henry Small's place, the one he's just quit. I've got a third cousin, name of Josiah Badger, over to South Harniss. He's a smart young chap, and an A-1 accountant at figgers.
I am A-1 with old De Burgh, and I won a pot of money up in Yorkshire, paid a lot of debts, sold my horses. Now, don't you think you ought to be interested in your man Friday? You remember our last meeting at Sandbourne hey? Don't you think I am going to succeed all along the line?" "It is impossible to say," returned Katherine.
And so polished, too." Bowers found the topic difficult, and changed it. "What's your opinion of Ross's inauguration?" he asked. "I call it an A-1 success." "It would have been a success," discriminated Cora, "a pronounced success, if Ross had approached it with a tithe of the spirit I urged. But no; simplicity, simplicity! You would have thought the affair a transfer of Methodist parsons.
"If he does, sir, please spare yourself the trouble of bearing his message. Neither Nan nor I is for sale, sir." "I told him you'd decline the bonds. However, Mr. Donald, there is no reason in life why you shouldn't get money from me whenever you want it. Thanks to your father I'm worth more than a hundred thousand myself, although you'd never guess it. Your credit is A-1 with me."
"Oh, yes I can," he said, "because you're a bully kid and you're an A-1 sport, and you and I are going to be pals. What do you say?" "I can't deny that I like you," I said, "and I bet you've been to a lot of places." "France, Russia, South America, Panama and Montclair, New Jersey," he said, "and Bronx Park." Gee, I didn't know how to take him, he was so funny.
