"The worst of these kids' rooms," said Mr. Prohack, with an affectation of calm, "is that there are no easy chairs in them. It never struck me before. Look here, you sit on the bed and put the tray down there, and I'll occupy this so-called chair. Now, I don't want any sermons. And what is more, I can't eat unless you do. But I tell you I'm very hungry. So would you be, if you'd had my day."
He must now occupy himself with the means of surprising, seizing and retaining the ancestors of his future flock. Here, patience, address or stratagem can alone avail. Notwithstanding his natural agility, he does not dream of reaching them by pursuit. Since his last hunts, goats and kids keep themselves usually in the steep and mountainous parts of the island.
You see, sir, I had just come to the country, and with the missus and a couple of kids " "Thirty-one years! Great Caesar! And you've worked at this desk for thirty-one years! And what have you got out of it?" "Well, sir, not what you might call a terrible lot.
"Did yuh say your name was Ira Mallory, and do yuh mind how they used to mix us up in school, when we were both kids? 'Cause I've got a hunch you're the same irrepressible that has the honor to be my cousin." "I didn't say it," retorted his other self, pugnaciously. "But I don't know as it's worth while denying it. If you're Will Davidson, shake.
"Well, we can wait till we get a guaranteed article," said Mr. Taylor. "And that's what we're going to do. It can't be this year, and it needn't to be. None of the kids is very old, and the schoolhouse has got to be built." He now drew a letter from his pocket, and looked at me. "Are you acquainted with Miss Mary Stark Wood of Bennington, Vermont?" he inquired.
"One for you, one for your mother, and three for the kids," said his friend, as Billy buttoned the treasure in the inside pocket of his ragged coat. He was so excited that he almost forgot his part of the bargain, but as the gentleman was turning away he remembered. "Say, mister, where must I take the kindlin' to?" "Oh, that's all right; you can sell it to-morrow," answered the other.

Carl swore to himself: "Ben 's the only guy I know that's got any delicate feelings. He appreciates how Gertie feels when she's sick, poor girl. He don't make a goat of himself, like Joe.... Or maybe he's got a stomach-ache." "Post-office!" cried Howard Griffin to the room at large. "Come on! We're all of us going to be kids again, and play post-office.
