"Well, I didn't invite her." "How come?" "Well, with the two of you and the two of her that would be two too many. Wouldn't you agree?" He giggled as the jawbreaker moved from one part of his cheek to the other. "Do you really think that thing in your mouth tastes good?" "Same as a sucker," he said. "Do you want?" He pulled it out of his mouth. The jawbreaker was coruscating with saliva.
But he couldn't forget how the widow might feel if he canned her stepbrother and what's a man, more or less, in a case uh that kind?" "Now look here, Jawbreaker," Billy protested cheerfully, "don't yuh go oozing comfort and sympathy on my account. I don't know but what I'm tickled to death.
The following is something like how it appeared to those who were looking on: "AND and; FOUR four," said the tutor, without lifting his eyes from his work. "THEIR, what the h ll's that, Jack?"

"When you analyze the thing right down to fundamentals," observed the foreman, whom men called "Jawbreaker" for obvious reasons, "it's a cussed shame.

He had been careful, however, to pick the jawbreaker up and put it in his mouth. "Didn't you say you wanted one?" Pee-wee asked. "Didn't you just put it in your mouth?"
