Mudge's diction was ever open to criticism, but he had a faculty for conveying his meaning which genius well might envy.

I say to them, I say, 'God damn it' excuse me, sir 'I told you to do it, ain't that enough? Well, this Schuster, sir, he worried all the time. He got so he cut himself shaving. Damnedest thing.
