"I have been informed that you were in the city. Well, sir?" "Oh! knew I was here, did you? Is that so? Who told you? Tad wrote, I suppose, hey?" The congressman did not reply immediately.

Usually these false statements took the form of assertions that we had asked preposterous questions of applicants.
"Congressman Taylor asked Sam for the truth regardin' Phineas and a certain matter," he said. "Sam told the truth, that's all." "Well, maybe that's so, but does tellin' the truth about folks make 'em love you? I don't know as it does." Winslow appeared to meditate. "No-o," he observed, thoughtfully, "I don't suppose you do."
