He never spoke after that one word 'Salvation, but every once in a while he snorted.

"I ain't afraid of that dog," scoffed Billy, as he was again placed on the walk, "but onc't he took me for a rat or somepin' and his teeth cut into my back. If I'd a done right, I'd a took the law on him." Sinton looked down into the indignant little face. The child was bright enough, he had a good head, but oh, such a body!

But I don't hold to this here nonsense of turnin' plain, and I tole her so, and she's got to obey to me or I'll learn her!"

Getz was taking her Sunday afternoon nap on the kitchen settee. Tillie seated herself on the porch step at her father's feet. Her eyes were clear and bright, but her face burned, and her heart beat heavily in her heaving bosom. "Pop!" she timidly roused him from his dozing. "Heh?" he muttered gruffly, opening his eyes and lifting his head. "Pop, I got to speak somepin to you."
Every time I got homesick I'd say that river, an' then I'd see Hogan's Dairy Lunch fer Ladies an' Gents on the ol' Bowery an' hear the kid Mick Hogan yellin': 'Draw one in the dark! White wings let her flop! Pie-ho! an' it helped me a heap." Bill settled himself and stretched.

"What do I do when somepin' catches fire?" the boss replied to one of Muggles's inquiries they were sitting in the office alone, Bender and little Billy having gone fishing with Jackson.
