Elphye came out two days later made up as a Princess in the Christmas Pantomime and diffusing pleasant Odors in all directions. She sat down alongside of Annie and immediately she was shown up and went back to the Minors. Her Second-Reader Conversation, complicated with the phoney Boston sound of "A" as in "Squash," did not improve her General Average.
A second time the detective had made a lucky hit, for Mrs. Parker suddenly laid aside all pretense and asked: "Do you want to make a lot of money?" Peabody allowed that he did. "Do you know what they have got Jim for?" asked the girl. "'Phoney' paper, wasn't it?" "Yes," said Mrs. Parker, "but Jim didn't write those checks. I wrote them myself.
"What did you say you could do?" "Well, I can incriminate not only Jacobs but Gresham in those phoney attachments, and I can hand you the Gamble-Collaton books," set forth Collaton. "Gresham got them away from me to take care of and then held them over me as a threat; but I got them back yesterday by offering to pound his head off. He's a bigger coward than I am."
The gents supportin' the bars and store corners will be so interested in seein' me do you for your pile that they'll forget to remember who I am, like I would be in me natural jeans. They'll size me for a phoney promoter excavatin' your pocketbook. It's a chance but we got to take it." "That's all very weird and wonderful," said Winthrop, "and not so very flattering to me, but I am game.
They're all tarred with the same brush, little and big.

Daylight's coming to civilization had not improved him.
"Don't you know that you an' me stand to swing if any of de bunch gets gabby in front of dis phoney punk?"
She said the Teachers were just crazy about it and all of them agreed that Effie ought to go to Paris or Milan. The slangy Boy with the rag-time Shirt went them one better, and said that all of the phoney Melbas in the country ought to pull for the Old Country and wait until they were sent for. In this same Boarding-House there was a Widow whose husband had neglected to die.
I'm saying I'd rather stay here with you than go back to the way I was living before we started off on this voyage! I think the two of us could make out under any circumstances! I don't want to try to make out without you! It isn't sense!" Then he scowled helplessly. "Dammit, I've staged plenty of shows in which a man asked a girl to marry him, and they were all phoney.
One of them had around his arm a plaster of Paris casting, that during his begging trips would be filled with cotton upon which a few drops of carbolic acid or some other "medicinally" smelling liquid had been poured, to give the "phoney" broken-arm trick a cloak of respectability.
"I see!" he answered, as a stumble over a root cut short her words and made her cling to him more tightly. "You are an ideal sister. You'd be an ideal wife for a scoundrel. You would be a godsend to any one with phoney stock to sell. Your credulity is perfect. And your feminine curiosity is under lots better control than most women's.
