"Oh, I've been wanting to own a good one for years!" she cried; "and not just the ten-cent-store kind! Oh, Johnnie !" She tipped her sleek head to one side entreatingly. Johnnie had foreseen all this. He bargained with her. "I'll swop y' the brush," he declared. "Swop for what? Oh, Johnnie! Oh, isn't it sweet!" Grandpa was in the room.
Mr Peter Swop, emboldened and brightened by the wine he had so industriously swilled, and willing to contribute his quota of conversation, having previously jumbled in his noddle what Mr Bang had said about an ostrich, and hard food, asked, across the table "Do you believe ostriches eat iron, Mr Bang?"
"Well, now, Lije, it's mighty kind of you to be givin' out that sort of artickle. Puts me in mind of the old feller that give away his shirts when he didn't have none to spare."
