"Let's see what he wants."
"I don't propose to say a hanged word abaout it, and yeou'll obleege me if you keep your mouth shet, too! If Mr. Merriwell found it aout, he'd be hot under the collar and give me a good dressing daown." "Oh, very well," agreed Silence, "I'll say nothing. It's a small matter to me."

We're pretty near the hotel. Let's drop in and have a drink." "Much obleeged," said Ephraim, "but I don't drink. That's one of the bad habits I ain't never picked up." "Well, you can come along and take something cooling. It's pretty hot to-day. There'll be some of the boys in the billiard room at Priley's. You can meet them and look them over.
