Pausing at the threshold, Grabman looked in and said cheerfully, "Good-day to you; good- day to you all, my little dears." "Ah, Grabman," said Bill, rising, and making a bow, for Bill valued himself much on his politeness, "come to blow a cloud, eh?

"How would you get into the bedroom?" Spike hung his head. "Bust de catch wit' me jemmy," he whispered, shamefacedly. "Burst the catch with your jemmy?" "It's de only way I ever learned," pleaded Spike. The expert was silent.
