He used to ship with me during the summer months when he was in school, and he's man clean to the ground. I can't see why in tarnation a big feller like him wants to take up such a sissy's job of piloting a lot of women to heaven." "But it isn't that kind of work, unless one makes it such," she defended. Mr. McGowan came to a halt on the opposite edge of the well-curbing.
