He leaned back in his chair and waved his visitor to a seat. "Tip, do you know anything about this Fleming family, out at Rosemont?" Rand began, getting out his pipe and tobacco. "The Premix-Foods Flemings?" Tipton asked. "Yes, a little. Which one of them wants you to frame what on which other one?" "That'll do for a good, simplified description, to start with," Rand commented.
You won't mind being left alone? 'Why should I? I'm not a child. Mr Holt, reaching the corner, turned it, and vanished out of sight. Sydney gave an exclamation of impatience.

Besides, I reckon 't wouldn't make no difference, for a man that'll go to a pawn-shop for a weddin'-ring ain't one to make a row about his wife's changin' it.

It'll be the other way about: I'll dig gold for any man on Bonanza that'll pay me wages." They sat slapping at the mosquitoes till a whistle screamed on the Lower River. The Boy called to Nig, and went down to the town to hear the news.
