"Don't want any kind of a dog not even a litter of good pups or a poodle?" "No, sir." "Well, maybe you could lend me five dollars on that dog. I'll pay you back to-morrow." "Can't do it." "Will you take him as a gift, and give me a chaw of terbacker?" "I don't chew." "Very strange," he muttered, thoughtfully. "There's no encouragement for a man in this world. Sure you won't take him?"
You know dis yer life ev'lastin' w'at Miss Sally puts 'mong de cloze in de trunk; well, dat's rabbit terbacker.

You'll have to get a lawyer, and I expect there'll be smart of fuss about it before it's over.
