The clatter was infernal; the pistons seemed trying to jump out of the cylinders, while the throws and eccentrics lost all semblance of good order. "Oh, damn!" cried Sam, who, being hurled to the iron floor, swore as though he enjoyed it. Whitey Welch, the fireman, burst into a huge guffaw, in which Sam finally joined. "You're all right down here," laughed Dan, "as happy as a sewing circle!
I thought you was the swellest hold-up man I ever met, that night out in the woods. You'd do credit to Sam Welch himself. I'll tell you all I know, pardner, but it ain't a great deal. It won't do me any good to keep my mouth shut now, an', if you say so, it may help me to squeal. But, fer the Lord's sake, have one of these rotten doctors give me something to make me sleep.

'Welch is a jolly low character himself, said Tony, judicially. 'I wonder you associate with him, Alderman. 'Stand in loco parentis. Aunt of his asked me to keep an eye on him. "Dear George is so wild," she said. Before Welch could find words to refute this hideous slander, Tony cut in once more.
