'Didn't ye promise to invist two dollars ivry month? he says. 'I'm doin' it, says Dinnis. 'I've kept me wurrud. 'An' what are ye invistin' it in? says Hogan. 'In lotthry tickets, says th' imp'dent kid." While delivering these remarks, Mr. Dooley was peeping over his glasses at Mr. McKenna, who was engaged in a struggle with the machine.
