A blackguard bookmaker! To think my son should come to that! You know very well, Mr. Lott, that there's nothing I hate and despise more than horse-racing.
Just then Anson swore a thundering oath. "Crazy or not, I'll git gold out of thet kid!" he roared. "But, man, talk sense. Are you gittin' daffy, too? I declare this outfit's been eatin' loco. You can't git gold fer her!" said Wilson, deliberately. "Why can't I?" "'Cause we're tracked. We can't make no dickers. Why, in another day or so we'll be dodgin' lead." "Tracked!

Enid's eyes snapped.
I kind of laughed when I felt it in my hands I reckon I was some daffy with the sensation of excitement. "Herky, old boy," I says to it, as I flipped over the pages, "you ain't ever lied to me yet, and you ain't ever throwed me down at a scratch yet. Tell me what, old boy, tell me what!" says I. I turned to "What to do in Case of Accidents," on page 117.
Sure" Izzy laughed mirthlessly "that's what the guy's doin'. Nuts, see? Daffy. He comes in here like that and I always watch him. He sits still and when the music starts up he begins wit' his hands. Ain't he the berries? "Now keep your eye on him. You'll see somethin' pretty quick. He's alone tonight. I guess the dame has shook him for the evenin'. Look, he's still conductin'. Ain't he rich?
'I feel ashamed and miserable! burst from his lips. 'It's not your fault, Mr. Daffy, interrupted the other in a good-natured growl. 'You're not responsible, no more than for any stranger.
