I don't like these kid-glove philanthropists mixing themselves up in practical labour disputes they don't understand." Denzil whistled involuntarily. It was a piece of news. "I dare say," continued Crowl, "he's a bit jealous of anybody's interference with his influence. But in this case the jealousy did wear off, you see, for the poor fellow and he got quite pals, as everybody knows.
"Perry, why will you speak so brutally?" "Look a-here, Rans, I ain't none o' your kid-glove kind. I allus speaks out what I hev to say.
