Why, three diff'rent parties had interviewed me confidential on the proposition, offerin' to let me in on the ground floor, and givin' as many diff'rent but more or less convincin' reasons for bein' so generous.
But I, Rupert Killam, have at last discovered the true hiding place of that secret hoard." Can you beat that for a batty conversation to be handed across the table, right on Broadway at high noon? But say, take it from me, this Rupert party is some convincin' spieler.
I hope I made it convincin' about his being called before a Senate Committee and how he was hoping to get back before she showed up. I told it as well as I could with them wise friendly eyes watchin' me. "Perhaps, after all," says she, "it's just as well. If I had known he had this photo I never would have risked coming.

"Now, my man," continued Newman, "another false move on your part and the facts will be given to that girl, with absolute convincin' proof. There'll be no way of talkin' her out of it. You'll be through that's all!" While Newman talked, he had gradually leaned forward, deeply absorbed in the driving home of this final threat.
"I believe you found some convincin' texts in the big purse of the Bible blackguards do you smell that, Darby?" "You have a full purse, they say, but, by the time Father M'Cabe takes the price of your trangressions out of it as he won't fail to do take my word for it, it'll be as lank as a stocking without a leg in it do you smell that, Bob ahagur?"
