And Johnny, thinking of the gun or the pony or what not, would stick out his lips and sigh and say no, he "s'posed not."

Ellis set up such a hush-sh-sh I s'posed she was goin' to sleep, and jest made the best o' my way out. Ugh! don't she begin to scold when there's anybody taken sick!" Gertrude sauntered out into the garden. She had nothing to do but think anxiously about Emily, who, she feared, was very ill.
But then I didn't steal it; I didn't even know it was money. Oh bah! Tode Mall, don't you try to pull wool over your own eyes that way.

"Kincaid's my name, and I'm s'posed to be one o' the strike guards; leastwise, that's what I hired out for a little spell ago.
