"Well, Sweetwater, any news, eh?" was the half-jeering, half- condescending greeting he received from the coroner.
'I can't speak for others, but for myself, I'm always conscious of wanting to be agreeable when I'm with you. I'm sorry' he was speaking in the usual half-genial, half-jeering tone 'very sorry, if I succeed so ill. 'I've already admitted that with me you succeed to admiration. But you only try because it's easy. 'Oh! he laughed. 'You rather like talking to me, you know.
