"Just as you please," said Donnegan, sipping his glass. "But remember this, my young friend, that a fool is a fool, drunk or sober." Landis showed his teeth, but made no other answer. And Donnegan anxiously flashed a glance at the clock. He still had three minutes. Three minutes in which he must reduce this stalwart fellow to a trembling, nervous wreck.
"The wretched man won sixteen hundred dollars from me last night; and he sat in his club window all afternoon, just to have the pleasure of laughing at me as I went by.

The girls, Landis and Min, left their places to walk up and down the aisle.
She's a good soul and always does her best. I really have a fondness for her. You can be sure that so long as I have a home Betty shall have one too."
