There was an independent water company that wanted a franchise and it would have given the city its water for just half. Every time I pay my water bill I am sorry I didn't hold out. It would have been cheaper for me in the end." "He says it cost him sixty thousand," remarked Finnegan. "Maybe," said the other. "You can't tell what the organization got.
It was all so very obvious that Samuel found himself in a state of exasperation with the people who did not yet understand it, and spent his time wrestling in imagination with all those he had ever known: with his brothers, and with Finnegan, and with Charlie Swift, with Master Albert and Mr. Wygant, with Professor Stewart and Dr. Vince.

Finnegan, a particular friend of hers; and the great event of the morning furnishing matter for large discourse, and various social allurements adding to the fascination of having a story to tell, Kitty Fagan forgot her note until meeting had begun and the minister had read the text of his sermon.
Boyce left her nodding her thanks at what he had placed in her hand, and went home to write it all to Babette Babette who would laugh so merrily when she read it!
