Troutt was standing in the sunny doorway of his stable when the young fellow dashed up to him. "Hullo, Uncle Troutt! Harness the fastest nag into your swellest outfit instanter." "Aha! Goin' t' take y'r girl out, hey?" "Yes; and I want 'o do it in style." "I guess ol' Dan's the idee, if you can drive him; he's a ring-tailed snorter." "Fast?" "Nope; but safe.
I would certainly not miss one single dance the whole afternoon, for I was sure the boys would be fascinated and that the swellest among them would see me home in the evening.

The waiters looked queerly at us when we came in me in my dusty shoes and mussed hair and old rig, and Mr. O. in his working togs. But do you suppose we cared?

Ev'ry last thing I know I learned off yur poor ma." "I hope it will serve you here, Aloysius." "Sarve me!" He bent closer.

Harness your fastest nag into your swellest outfit instanter." "Aha! Goin' t' take y'r girl out, hey?" "Yes; and I want to do it in style." "I guess ol' Dan's the horse for you. Gentle as a kitten and as knowin' as a fox. Drive him with one hand left hand."

Mind you, Tamara, fifteen percent. And, besides that, a small salary thirty, forty, well, if you like, fifty roubles a month. Splendid terms isn't that the truth?
