You only stick to your friends, young gentleman, won't you, sir? It's a hard case for a poor man like me if you don't.
Meet me here in half an hour, and I'll give you the letter. Meantime, keep your mouth shut." "Yas, Mars Geo'ge," replied Plato with a grin that distended that organ unduly. That he did not keep it shut may be inferred from the fact that within the next half hour he had eaten and drunk fifty cents' worth of candy, ginger-pop, and other available delicacies that appealed to the youthful palate.

"So it was, lad, includin' us; but you don't suppose that because you are out on the spree, everybody else is.
"I I don't drink ginger-pop!" confessed the be-deviled Center of Culture, foggily. "Alas! for the South, her books have grown fewer, She never was much given to literature," quoted The Author, pensively. She was speechless.
"This young party said so," said Uncle Mo, crumpling Dolly to identify her, "at the very first go off. Didn't you, little ginger-pop, hay?"
