Mosier about that." "Huh!... Mosier hain't apt to tell me. Seems like I was sort of int'rested in that thing. I can't manage nohow to git the facts, so I thought I'd talk to you." "I can't help you. I have no right to talk about a client's confidential matters." "To be sure.... How's business?" "Not very good." "Not gittin' rich, eh?"
But he got 'em all int'rested, and it wouldn't surprise him, so Sim said, if on the quiet some of those plug-uglies had agreed to do the job." Nan shuddered, and had long since stopped eating. But nobody paid any attention to her at the moment. Uncle Henry drawled: "They're going to do the hardest day's job for the smallest pay that they ever did on this Michigan Peninsula.
"I guess you're not int'rested," she said in heavy disappointment. "Come, Allee, we better be going." "Indeed you better not!" he cried, thoroughly aroused by her look and tone, and remembering that she was unaccountably sensitive to the moods of her loved ones. "I won't tease you another speck. Come and tell grandpa what it is now that you want me to help with."
But it wa'n't what he said, so much as how he was sayin' it, that got me int'rested. There's some voices you don't have to hear but once to remember a lifetime, an this was one of that kind. It was one of these husky baritones, like what does the coonsongs for the punky records they put into the music boxes at the penny arcades.
"Knowin' as you're kinder int'rested in the moral regeneration of Nick Undrell, Kiddie," he went on, "I've hesitated ter issue a warrant for the man's arrest. I concluded that before goin' to extreme measures I should be wise ter take your advice. I'm here now for that purpose." Kiddie smiled.
"Perhaps," says Eggy, blushin'. "I had promised a few of them to take some studio pictures if they would come up to-day." "And they didn't do a thing but bring all their friends," says I. "Must be fifty of them down there. You'll have a thick book before you get through." "I beg pardon," puts in Mr. Hubbard, leanin' forward int'rested, "but may I ask the nature of the book?"
"Hm!" repeated Horace, and then after a pause: "Where does the play go from here?" "New York." "For how long?" "All depends. Winter maybe." "Oh!" "Coming up to lay eyes on me, Omar, or aren't you int'rested? Not as nice here, is it, as it was up in your room? I wish we was there now." "I feel idiotic in this place," confessed Horace, looking round him nervously. "Too bad!

Bayard sends out the S O S so strong I can't very well duck. Besides, I might have been a little int'rested to know what he'd dug up.
"Well, I s'pose that's so," admitted Nan's uncle, rather gloomily, she thought. "So, if Beckett's crowd are int'rested in bumping you a whole lot, you may be sure Ged's promised 'em real money for it." "Pshaw!" exclaimed Uncle Henry. "You're fooling now. He hasn't hired any half-baked chip-eaters and Canucks to try and beat me up?" "I ain't foolin'." "Pshaw!"
I never was so int'rested in the birds in all my life; an' I'll jest do a little lookin' out myself. If you hear a spang o' the dinner bell when you're out in the field, you'll know it means there's some one sneakin' 'round with a gun."
