"Well, mebbe I will and mebbe I won't," he said, importantly. "Say, you keep him for me till I make my mind up. If anybody else comes along, don't you sell him to anybody else till I tell you, because prob'ly I'll simply buy him. My father, he loves animals." Solly Gumble was impressed. "Well, he's a first-class animal. He's been in that one place goin' on five years now."
"Wait till he tries to throw that dope into Gumble and Pinski and Schlumbohm haw, haw, haw!" Mr. Kerrigan, at the thought of these hearty aldermen accustomed to all the perquisites of graft and rake-off, leaned back and gave vent to a burst of deep-chested laughter.
"Give me two of those and two of those and one of them," said the Wilbur twin, pointing to new heart's desires. "Say, now, you got a lot of money for a little boy," said Solly Gumble, not altogether at ease. This might be a case of embezzlement such as he had before known among his younger patrons. "You sure it's yours yes?" "Ho!" The Wilbur twin scorned the imputation.
Clar. Pap. iii. 674, 691. Gumble, 236. Feb. 9. subsequent dissolution and the calling of a new parliament. This speech was received with the loudest acclamations.

For the last of the Siwards had at last stepped into the highway which his doomed forebears had travelled before him. "Gumble!" he called irritably.
Two more of the courtiers followed as unerringly as if trained in palaces. Solly Gumble bent above the counter. "Well, now, you young man, you listen to me. You been a right good customer, treating all your little friends so grand, so I tell you straight you take that fine bird for forty-eight cents. Not to many would I come down, but to you yes." Wilbur Cowan, overcome, mumbled his thanks.
And don't worry over Amalgamated Electric, for I really believe we are beginning to frighten them badly." "Good-bye," said Siward. "Don't forget that I'm always at home." "You must get out," muttered Plank; "you must get well, and get out into the sunshine." And he went ponderously down-stairs to the square hall, where Gumble held his hat and gloves ready for him.
A hand sank swiftly into a pocket and brought up a scant few nickels and pennies. Amid a thickening silence he counted these remaining coins. Then in deadly tones he declared to Solly Gumble, "I only got forty-eight cents left!" "Oh, my! I must say! Spent all his money!" shrilled the Merle twin on a note of triumph that was yet bitter.
