They can't say then that I'm down on Sam, like some of them say now, and if anybody talks about Bartram and the upper-crust folks that have been helping the meetings along, I can just remind them that talk is cheap and that it's money that tells. I'll do it, as sure as my name's Quickset; and the quicker I do it the better it will be for me, if I'm not mistaken."

"It will be half an hour before they get this tangle straightened out." "I shouldn't mind, Jim, if it weren't for Kitty," replied his wife. "I am worried about her." "Well, I simply could not drag her into this coupé and get into hers myself. She's a heady little lady, if you want to know. As it is, she'll get back to the hotel quicker than we shall. Her cab is five up.
A phrase that is purely contemplative in character is breathed in a tranquil fashion without any suggestion of nervous agitation.
