But to go back to what I was sayin' why should I sob on your shoulder? There ain't no reason for't. In the first place, even if you have got a spot on your lung, what's a spot! It ain't the whole lung! An' one lung ain't both lungs, an' there you are! As I make it out, even grantin' the worst, you're a lung-an'-then-some to the good, so where's the use gettin' blue?
But is there such a thing, sir?" "Not a penny, and so you may tell your friends." "Well, but, sir, grantin' that, still you'll acknowledge that I'm long-headed." "No, only long-winded." "Not long-headed, then?" "No, certainly not." "Damnu orth a veehone bradagh! come Rosha. Not long-headed! troth it's a poor religion to depind on an' I'll make a show of it yet, if I'm spared. Come, woman alive."
I'm grantin' he's sincere that he's not playin' a part that his vicious instincts are smothered under a noble impulse to be what he ought to be. It's no trick. Buster Jack has all but done the impossible." "Then why isn't his sincerity and good work to be permanent?" asked Moore, impatiently, and his gesture was violent. "Wils, his change is not moral force. It's passion." The cowboy paled.
They seen you comin'. However, grantin' for the sake of argyment that she's worth the tow, the next question them towboat skippers'll ask is: 'Who's goin' to pay the bill? It'll be two hundred an' fifty dollars at the lowest figger, an' if you got that much credit with the towboat company you're some high financier. Ain't that logic?" "I'm afraid," Scraggs replied sadly, "it is.
Sure we oughtn't to neglect thim no more than ourselves, the crathurs, that can't spake their wants, except by grantin'." "Saints above! the Lord forgive me for bringin' down their names upon a Christmas Eve, but it's beside himself the man is! an' him knows that the phaties wor boiled an' made up into balls for them airly this mornin'!"
And I sez, "Grantin' that rich men do drink and carouse at their clubs, as I don't know whether they do or not, two wrongs never made one right, and the liquor couldn't hurt 'em so much, for they can buy it pure, and the poor man's drink is pizen by adulteration, makin' a more dangerous drunk, ruinin' their health and makin' 'em spilin' for fights and bloodshed.
"Why not?" demanded Moore, his face darkening. "Reckon there are reasons that you young folks wouldn't think of, an' couldn't know." "Wade, it's not like you to be hopeless for any man," said Moore. "Yes, I reckon it is, sometimes," replied Wade, wagging his head solemnly. "Young folks, I'm grantin' all you say as to Jack's reformation, except that it's permanent.
Look at my own case, an' that's but one out of thousands that's happenin' every day in the country. Grantin' that he didn't sarve me with this notice to quit, an' supposin' he let me stay in the farm, he'd rise it on me in sich a way as that I could hardly live in it; an' you know, Dora, that to be merely strugglin' an' toilin' all one's life is anything but a comfortable prospect.
"Grantin' everything you say, Hattie and I'm holdin' no brief for myself I've been the sick one, not you. Twenty years I've been down sick with hookworm." "With devilishness." "No, Hattie. It's the government's diagnosis. Hookworm. Been a sick man all my life with it. Funny thing, though, all those years in Rio knocked it out of me." "Faugh!" "I'm a new man since I'm well of it." "Hookworm!
It had been a long time on the road. It said that a new bill was a-goin' to be introduced to allow wimmen to vote, but she didn't seem to be encouraged about it much. Sez she: "The law won't do anything about that as long as it is so busy grantin' licenses to kill folks via Saloon and other houses of death and ruin and canals and trusts and monopolies to protect to steal the people's money."
