"Well, Susie, you and Nell may be able to stand it for a month, but long ere that I'll be dead ossified, fossilised, dried up, and blown away! Maybe you girls enjoy it, though I didn't think it of you but what can I do? I'm tired of reading day-before-yesterday's newspaper and of being two days behind the market. Two days! Think what may have happened to steel since I've heard from it!
