"I'm not," said Tilda sharply. "What put it into your 'ead?" "You told the lady " he began. "Eh? So I did. But that was all flam." He could make nothing of this. "I was kiddin' of 'er tellin' what wasn' true," she explained. He walked forward a few steps with a frown not disapproving, but painfully thinking this out.

Flummery Flam, the least insinuating and the least plausible personage that ever performed the easy task of gulling a nation.

I'm afeard o' daminite, hey? I'll show ye!" He swung the sack from his shoulder, and held it up in both hands for the retreating populace to see. "I jest as soon flam this whole thing down here in the ro'd. I jest as soon kick it. I jest as soon set on it and smoke my pipe. I'm an outlaw and I ain't afeard of it.

"What's it to be, Van," said Bob Howlett, "fun or flam?" "Tell you to-morrow morning," was the reply. "I say, I've fed the chim', and he's asleep."

Another newspaper boy raced past, bawling loudly. "All a flam, is it?" said the American quizzically; "No," said Winter, "it's the truth, and less than the truth. Let's hunt that steak, and we'll season the dish for you." Winter never erred when he chose a man as a friend.

"I think," said Archie faintly, "that if I was like I was in the old days, Peter, I'd punch your great, stupid head. What do you mean? Do you think I'm as weak as a child, and that you must try and please me by telling me all that flam?"
"Imagine!" said Quillan thoughtfully. "Uh got something to seal up the clothes?" "Yes," Lyad said. "Bring it here, Flam." "Toss it, Flam!" cautioned Quillan. "Remember the leg." Lyad's hands did things to the clothes at her back. Then they went away. "You can sit up now, Trigger!" Quillan's voice informed her loudly. "Sort of slide down easy off the table and see if you can stand."
The next moment all of Smyrna that happened to be in sight of the scene gasped with horror on beholding the first selectman walk out of the town house and stalk directly across the square toward the dynamiter.
