"I admit that every circumstance points to " "Stop! Don't you give me any more o' that Webster Unabridged. You git to cases. If you didn't come here to steal you came to The Polka to rob it, didn't you?" Johnson, his eyes lowered, was forced to admit that such were his intentions, adding swiftly: "But when I knew about you " He broke off and took a step towards her. "Wait! Wait!

"A modification," replied Richard, considerably embarrassed to give an instant definition, "is a a" "A splitting of the difference, by !" shouted somebody in the third shop. "Thank you," said Richard, glancing in the direction of his impromptu Webster's Unabridged. "Mr. Slocum does not propose to split the difference.
The Association has condensed Swedenborg's writings into ten small volumes, in about one-tenth of the compass of the unabridged works, and has sold about 37,000 volumes, besides many thousands given away.
