He touched a button on his desk. "Prepare a standard 2-A contract for Dr. Jac Kennon's signature. And attach two riders, a full P-P-yes, no exceptions and a security-leak contingency, Form 287-C.

The eyes of Young America grew big and round with astonishment, then lit with ecstatic delight. He was going to be a real detective. "The boss?" He jerked a dirty thumb in the direction of the chief clerk. "I'll make it right with him. Hurry!" "You bet I'll keep a peeper on him," he bragged, reaching for his hat. He was gone.

"Certainly," said Mr Lutter, "when their subject is good, and the language modest." "Then you are an atheist," retorted Mr Peeper.
After the serving men, with some difficulty, had brought in the supper, consisting of enormous joints of meat, hot and cold, and deposited on the sideboard vast tankards of strong ale and other potent beverages, Mr Peeper rose, and folding his hands across his breast, and bending forward his head with every appearance of devotion, muttered some words evidently intended to represent a grace; but so indistinct that it was utterly impossible to make the slightest guess at their meaning, whereupon they all fell to with prodigious activity, and cut and slashed the enormous dishes as if they had been famished for a year.
