"This is what comes of treating with solid citizens of means and method, is it? Where is my hat? I'll go round to that bank and just tell them what I " "O'Grady!" protested Dill. "Behave! or you'll have the fat in the fire for good and all." "No, Daff," insisted Little O'Grady. "I got you into this, and now " "I don't understand it so," said Dill coldly. "Oh yes, I did.
"Daff," said Little O'Grady, "for the Lord's sake, what's on?" "Ah, O'Grady," said Dill, in a cool, formal manner; "are you here?" Since that calamitous episode at the bank, he had cared less than ever for O'Grady: they had been quite right in throwing him out.
People shall know you; people must know you!" He faced about toward Preciosa. "Ah, my fair young thing, he's got you dead. Why, Daff himself couldn't have reached this in an hour!" Preciosa was like most of the rest of us inclined to take good workmanship for granted; where there was nothing to criticise there was nothing to take hold of.
Their cheerfulness and gayety is irrepressible, and no people on earth understand better how "to daff the world aside and bid it pass." Besides these, were two or three half-breeds, a race of rather extraordinary composition, being according to the common saying half Indian, half white man, and half devil.
That girl must marry him, so that I can save my Grindstone stock and my Pin-and-Needle investments, and so that Daff can get those pictures to paint, and so that Virgilia can get him!" Oh, heavens!

"True, true!" groaned the chorus. The boy, who had borne his father's blow without a murmur, now again attempted remonstrance. "The hot water went over the gray cat, too, but Master Warner never bewitched her, daddy." "He takes his part! You hear the daff laddy?
A little figure that was passing rapidly along the corridor stopped on seeing the door ajar and waved a long supple hand and wagged a frizzly flaxen poll and gave a humorous wink out of his gray-green eyes and called unabashedly, before he resumed his skurrying flight: "I've got 'em on the run, Daff; I've got 'em on the run!"
'Saved, yet so as by fire. 'Baptized with the Holy Ghost, even fire. 'His word is as a fire.

He turned round as if in search of help. In a doorway near-by he saw another familiar face. "Why, there's Daff!" he cried. "It's Dill, our hated rival," he explained to Prochnow.
Virgilia dropped her eyes. No, he hadn't. But the acceptance of these magnificent proposals might easily make another proposal possible, and again Eudoxia Pence asked herself: "Do I want it, or don't I? Certainly only the bank's acceptance of Daff's scheme will make possible Virgilia's acceptance of Daff himself." That evening Dill called again on Virgilia, bringing the Hill-McNulty plan.
