Cullen's party has the stock majority in their favor, and would have won a fair fight if you had played fair. Since you didn't, I'm doing my best to put things to right." Camp cried, "All the more fool " but Baldwin interrupted him by saying "That only shows what a mean cuss Cullen is. He ought to give you ten thousand, if he gives you a cent."
