You don't suppose the fright he had turned his head and made him commit suicide, do you?" "Suicide your tintype!" stoutly scorned Tom. "Do you think that fellow would commit suicide in a rowboat?" "What do you mean?" questioned Jack wonderingly.
I've been knocked overboard by a whale, I've been wrecked, and half drowned, and almost starved, but I've never been in a picture, except I once had a tintype taken that was when I was married," and he chuckled at the remembrance. "These movin' pictures aren't like tintypes; are they?"
Adna raged back: "Give up a billion-dollar man for a fool poet? Not on your tintype!" Kedzie gave her father an admiring look. They were getting on sympathetic ground. They understood each other. Adna was encouraged to say: "If I was you, Kedzie, I'd just lay the facts before him. Maybe he could buy the feller off. You could probably get him mighty cheap." Mrs.
