When both cease for lack of breath, after a brief pause the new arrival asks, "Have you any of that 'Merican?" The dealer puts on an indignant air, as if astonished at being asked such a question.
As if in answer to his question, the brown eyes of the child he was just lifting fluttered slowly open, and Peace drowsily drawled, "We fed the Swede birds for Gussie, and got French forgiveness from grandpa for doing so, and had a German Christmas tree, and lots of Hung'ry company, and 'Merican stockings and a 'Merican Santa Claus, but we didn't hear the Irish horses talk, and I b'lieve it's all a joke."
