"You understand what you came butting in upon, don't you?" "I took it to be a rehearsal of a melodrama, crudely conceived and very poorly played." "Say, you use pretty big words for a low-lived iceman." "State your business with me if you have any," Farr reminded him.

"I've a mind to stop your wind for you, you mean"

"Dear, dear how unpardonable of me! I hadn't, the least idea at this distance. Excuse me, I must go and thank him at once."
