"Cruisin' about in their restless, foolish way. I told 'em to sit right down on the groun' and keep still an' enjoy theirselves while they could, but my wise words wuz wasted.

The missing three appeared a minute or two later and were received by the shiftless one with the objurgations due to what he considered misspent energy.
'Tain't possible I'm mistook!" "It scarcely seems possible, I admit. But I'm afraid it is true." I heard the club fall with a clatter. "My godfreys! Do you mean to say ? From Denboro?

Of course he won't give him the position then." "There's a chance he won't, that's true. But Sam Hunniwell's a fine feller, there ain't any better, and he likes you and well, he and I have been cruisin' in company for a long spell.
