"Neither one nor other," I replied, pocketing the affront. "An' who air ye, anyhow wi' yur dam glitterin' buttons, an' yur waist drawd in, like a skewered skunk?"

"It 'pends on yer, Miss Clorindy, yer know; de 'couragement yer've ben a givin' him is 'nuff to drive yer admirers out o' der senses." "Oh, dear me, I neber heerd sich audacious nonsense!" said Clo. "It's true," answered Dolf, "an' yer knows it. But ye're received in dat man, Miss Clorindy, yer is! He's got both eyes fixed on de glitterin' dross.
"My boy," said he, "you can gaze at me if you ain't too tired. As a matter of fact, in this pernicious age of specialization I stand out as the one glitterin' example of success in more than one line. Why, once I was a success as a journalist for a few moments."
His age wuz seventy-seven as near as I could make out but he didn't look more'n half that. He had kep' his age remarkable.
