If they continue to keep us at it like that I'll say it's a shame too, but we must give 'em time to git things into workin' order. Besides, they're hard-up just now.
I ain't got the nerve, either, to look at Sadie while I'm doin' the introducin'. I was watchin' Mrs. Hackett Wells sort of fascinated and listenin' to her chatter on. "Well, if this don't froth the eggs!" says she, pattin' me chummy on the shoulder. "Havin' you show up like this! And, say, lemme put you wise, here's where you want to stick around for a week or so.

"I heerd her say something in some outlandish language to that other dark-eyed gal." "Speakin' 'bout good-lookers," put in the deacon, "what's the matter with the one the big feller pushed for'ard as his wife? I don't guess Frank needed no introducin' to them, for it seems to me that he's met 'em both before." "But, my jinks," gasped Eben, "look at the sparklers in the ears of that one in brown!

I know OF 'em; everybody that knows anything about bankin' does, of course. I don't know any of 'em personal, but I cal'lated maybe you'd be willin' to give me a note, a letter introducin' me, you see.
It wuz a real hot day, and Josiah continered, "Well, their clothin' is comfortable anyway, that's why they are called coolers, because they're dressed so cool," and, sez he, "what a excitement I could make in Jonesville next summer in dog-days by introducin' this fashion."
"And he told thee well, my master. Frank is a good lad, though vain, and his palm itcheth. So to terms, eh? Now, methinks 'twere but equity and good fellowship for two such as we are to go snacks, eh? Cut through the middle even halves, bully even halves! How say you?" "You don't mean," said Droop, "that you'd want half the profits, jest fer introducin' me to Lord What's-is-name, do ye?"
"Do you expect to keep him with you?" "He talks of goin' back to Montana with me. I'll be sort of guardian to him." "You're in luck, Jeff." "Yes, I'm in luck to have pleasant company. Maybe we'll join together and buy a mine." "Would you mind introducin' him?" "Not at all," and thus Rodney became acquainted with quite a number of the Burton young men.
