You look like a tramp." "Yes," he answered bitterly, "I'm a tramp. That's all they'd let me be. I used to be a locomotive engineer before the big strike.

The place where she's been takin' lessons, eh?" Skeet nods. "Is this romance, or business, then?" says I. "Think I'm a fathead?" says he. "I'm gettin' fifteen for this, and I'm earnin' the money too.

We got behind on the rent mumsey bein' sick so, and not earnin' anythin'." In spite of a courageously cheerful smile, Jamie's voice shook. "Mis' Dolan down-stairs the woman what keeps my wheel chair for me, you know is helpin' us out this week. But of course she can't do it always, and then we'll have to go if Jerry don't strike it rich, or somethin'." "Oh, but can't we " began Pollyanna.
