Gashwiler tried hard to look as if he were trying to recall the meaning of Wiles's words. "Oh! ah! umph! let me see, oh, yes, the certificates, certainly! Of course you will make them out in the name of my secretary, Mr. Expectant Dobbs. They will perhaps repay him for the extra clerical labor required in the prosecution of your claim.

He trotted with swaying head, sending up an effective dust screen between the wagon and a still possibly observing Gashwiler.
She punctuated her sentence with a mischievous look at her interlocutor. For a second time I regret to say that Mr. Gashwiler succumbed. The Roman constituency at Remus, it is to be hoped, were happily ignorant of this last defection of their great legislator. Mr.
How difficult it was to think of a Gashwiler creeping in and out of those enfiling columns, or crawling beneath that portico, without wondering that yon majestic figure came not down with flat of sword to smite the fat rotundity of the intruder.
