Wow! it will be a regular circus! Can't you imagine that yellow face of the half-breed turning more like saffron then ever when he learns that we played him for a softy?" "Well, if you were near by, Bob, I wouldn't be surprised if you just had to stick your fingers in your ears," chuckled Frank.
The girl, on her part, had been watching him with painful intensity. "You're a new one on me," she told him frankly. "I feel like pinchin' you to see if you're real. Say, tell me: if you're real, are you the sort of guy that'd give twenty-five dollars, for nothin', to a girl he picked up in the street? Or, are you just a softy fool that a girl that picks him up in the streets can trim?
Old man Hemmings is a confirmed old bachelor. He's too mean to support more than one." "And you didn't happen to know any o' that gang, did ye?" continued Bill, with infinite protraction. "Yes. Knew 'em all. There was French Pete, Cherokee Bob, Kanaka Joe, One-eyed Stillson, Softy Brown, Spanish Jack, and two or three Greasers." "And ye didn't know a man by the name of Charley Byng?"
I should think he would sing since he's got a bet on it, you precious innocent, you noodle, Blinkard! 'Well, come in, simpleton! retorted the Blinkard.

The long talk at last subsided into serious silence. After remaining very still a few moments, Rosabella said softy, "Wouldn't you like to hear some music before you go to bed, Papasito mio?"
In her speculations, she was interrupted by "Mannie" Day, who entered softy through the door from the hall. "Mannie" Day was a youth of twenty-four. It was his heart's desire to be a "Broadwayard." He wanted to know all of those, and to be known only by those, who moved between the giant pillars that New York threw into the sky to mark her progress North.
When the meeting of some two thousand people at most has gathered, there is an unlucky fall of rain, advantage of which is taken by a local "omadhaun," or "softy" as they call him in Northern England, to mount the stage and make a speech, which elicits loud shouts of laughter.
