And if he used to be an actor, why, of course Casper would find it easy to play this part. Perhaps he's just enjoying it the best you ever heard of. Some people are never happy unless they're hoodwinking others."

I see it all now. That cursed, cursed woman and her boy have been hoodwinking me and playing with me all this time, have they?

I think they've been hoodwinking us about long enough!" Reblong suppressed a yawn. "I don't care if they do, old man. I'm willing to leave it up to them to run the government."
