"Why, for all you know, Abe, the feller would have maybe some big bargains." "If you are looking for bargains like that feller got it, Mawruss," Abe retorted, "you could find plenty of 'em by green-goods men. If you give me my choice between gold bricks and vacant lots, Mawruss, I would say gold bricks." Morris turned away impatiently. "What do you know about real estate, Abe?" he cried.

"Oh, pshaw, thet's always liable ter happen. Anyhow, I reckon I don't have ter worrit myself 'bout thet yit." "Suit yoreself." This time the native spoke dryly.

But what was you sayin' about Dave?" asked Godfrey, throwing himself down on one of the piles of cane and motioning to Dan to occupy the block of wood. "I was a sayin' that he's a little the meanest feller I ever seed," replied Dan, "an' don't you say so too, pap?
