I have labored for years to make plain to Josephine the ramifications of our National, State, and Municipal Government; but just as I am beginning to think that she understands the matter tolerably well, she is sure to break out in some such hopeless fashion as this, which shows that her conceptions are still crookeder than a ram's horn.
Replies in profusion came from the rest, however. "It isn't any crookeder than the review." "D'you call that fair criticism!" "Gurney! He hasn't an honest hair in his head." "Every other critic is strong for it; this is the only knock." "What did Laurence ever do to Gurney?" Out of the welter of angry voices came Betty Raleigh's clear speech, addressed to Banneker.

I'll pay that next fall, if the crops turn out only half as well as they look now." The other shook his head. "John McIntyre," he said, with affectionate severity, "you're too honest for this world.
