"For business reasons which you ah wouldn't undehstand, we can't let the Utah finish this railroad of theirs into Carbonate this winteh." "So much I have inferred. But Mr. Winton seems to be very determined." "Mmph! I wish Mr. Callowell had favehed us with some one else any one else. That young fellow is a bawn fighteh, my deah."
Virginia had a bright idea, and she advanced it without examining too closely into its ethical part. "Mr. Winton is working for wages, isn't he?" she asked. "Of cou'se; big money, at that. His sawt come high." "Well, why can't you hire him away from the other people? Mr. Callowell might not be so fortunate next time." The Rajah sat back in his chair and regarded her thoughtfully.
Do you still think you will be in danger of ossifying?" Adams let the question rest while he asked one of his own. "How do you come to be mixed up in it, Jack? A week ago some one told me you were going to South America to build a railroad in the Andes. What switched you?" Winton shook his head.

Aunt Griselda wiped her eyes on the border of her handkerchief. "Aunt Cornelia Callowell was a righteous woman," she murmured. "I never thought that I should hear her ridiculed in the house of her great-nephew. She scalloped me a flannel petticoat with her own hands. Eugenia, in my day little girls didn't reach for the butter. They waited until it was handed to them."
