He has t-told me so often enough! Well, I am devil enough to f-find out a little bit what p-people are thinking about. Your E-eminence is thinking that I'm a conf-founded nuisance, and you wish s-somebody else had to settle what's to be done with me, without disturbing your s-sensitive conscience. That's a p-pretty fair guess, isn't it?"
"I d-didn't want y-y-you to think my p-people couldn't afford to to " he stammered in a low voice. "Oh, what an idiot you are! My father was always calling me an idiot, but if he'd known you! My goodness he said I was a double-distilled one! Whatever are you?" "There you are, you see," he grumbled. "But, Louis, whatever does it matter?
"First and foremost because we know nothing about him." "Why, Aunt Polly, we've always known him, ever since I was a little girl!" "Yes, and what was he?

You're a block a machine you don't feel you g-go about rolling over p-people and things like like a damned steam-roller. You're not a man at all. You don't love anyone not even yourself. What do you know about anything?"

He was crazy drunk and ha-ha-half blind with blood where Dic knocked him, and he didn't know who f-f-fired the shot." "But suppose he should know?" "B-but he won't know, I-I tell ye. I-I t-trust you; c-can't you trust Patsy? I-I'm not as big a f-fool as I look. I-I let p-people think I'm a fool because when p-people think you're a f-fool, it's lots easier t-t-to work 'em. See?"
