"I'm sorry," said Tripp, almost inaudibly. "I'm sorry you're out your money. Now, it seemed to me like a find of a big story, you know that is, a sort of thing that would write up pretty well."
I says so to Matildy Tripp, said it right out, too: 'Matildy, I says, 'he's got a screw loose up aloft just as sure as you're a born woman! 'What makes you think so? says she. 'Well, says I, 'do you s'pose anybody that wan't foolish would be for spendin' good money on an old house to make it OLDER? I says. Goin' to tear down the piazza the fust thing!
James's; and there all the news now of very hot preparations for the Dutch: and being with the Duke, he told us he was resolved to take a tripp himself, and that Sir W. Pen should go in the same ship with him. Which honour, God forgive me! I could grudge him, for his knavery and dissimulation, though I do not envy much the having the same place myself.

He'd stand to win two ways." "Another thing I want you to do," Judith went on, "is to try to locate all of dad's old men whom Trevors let go. Johnny Hodge and Kelley and Harper and Tod Bruce. We'll need them.
