Rec'lect that?"
They both laughed, Susan giving her usual little bounce of joy as she settled into her seat, and the orchestra began a spirited selection. "Look there, Bill, what are those people getting?" she asked. "It's terrapin," said William, and Susan looked it up on the menu. "Terrapin Parnasse, one-fifty," read Susan, "for seven of them, Gee! Gracious!"
Anywhere from fifty cents to fifty bucks a night." "Fifty dollars!" exclaimed Bill Gregg. "Can you lay over that, Ronicky? Our wad won't last a week." "Say, pal," said the taxi driver, becoming suddenly friendly, "I can fix you up. I know a neat little joint where you'll be as snug as you want. They'll stick you about one-fifty per, but you can't beat that price in this town and keep clean."
So she sends for Jimmie I mean James, our chauffore he's got almost sober lately, it being three months or so since Christmas, and him knowing a lot about dogs. So she buys a new dog for them a large one that you can see easy, a collie dog; and Jimmie says he paid one-fifty for it."

If you are to be given two or three for one for that, and three-fourths of the remainder in the treasury, I for one want nothing to do with the deal.

Good crops is raised. Ev'rything is fine. Bam-by Gaviller put the price down to two-twenty-five. Bam-by he only pay two dollar. Tams is hard, he say. Las' year he pay one-seventy-five.
