"It doesn't make much difference," chuckled Fanning, "we've got that contract nailed down and delivered now."
"What do I care?" Then, suddenly, casting off his reserve, he blurted out: "Look here, young fellow! If you think I am going to lend you money you are only wasting time, for I am not." "And why not?"

One always enjoys play when his temples are all athrob." Agias quietly reached over, took up his opponent's dice box, and rattled it, and appeared inspecting and fingering the tali.
