"I chust come, and vos putting on mine odder coat ven I heard an explosion vich knock me mine feets off, and I rund out like I vos killed, and der whole place was on fire in two seconds already."

"No odder than you saying Bark, and not half as odd as your calling it Albany," I interpolated, to help Francesca. "Quite so," said Mr. Anstruther; "but how do you say Albany in America?"

But when this mans with the wife which is Indian, this mans McCormack, when him discovaire the Klondike, you go not. Odder mans go; odder mans now rich."
