Stalky was sent up for his wiggin' like a bad little boy. I've reason to believe that His Excellency's hair stood on end. Stalky didn't dare to look up, or he'd have laughed." "Now, wherefore was Stalky not broken publicly?" said the Infant, with a large and luminous leer. "Ah, wherefore?" said Abanazar. "To give him a chance to retrieve his blasted career, and not to break his father's heart.
"In this enlightened state," interposed Tutt, "it's a crime to advertise as a divorce lawyer; to attach a corpse for payment of debt; to board a train while it is in motion; to plant oysters without permission; or without authority wear the badge of the Patrons of Husbandry." "Really, one would have to be a student to avoid becoming a criminal," commented Miss Wiggin. Mr.
"'Wal, says Primus, 'I didn't engage to fill up no holes; and he put his spade on his shoulder and trudged off. "Wal, it was putty hard work, fillin' in that hole; but Hokum and Toddy and Wiggin had to do it, 'cause they didn't want to have everybody a laughin' at 'em; and I kind o' tried to set it home to 'em, showin' on 'em that 'twas all for the best.
"Which we are careful not to mention to yu'," said Wiggin, "unless yu' inquire for 'em." Some of the fools present had drawn closer to hear this interesting conversation. In gatherings of more than six there will generally be at least one fool; and this company must have numbered twenty men.
Tobias Greenbaum was outside and would like an interview. "Send him in!" directed Mr. Tutt, winking at Miss Wiggin.

"See here," snarled Greenbaum. "You sure have made a most awful hash of this business.
"My idea of a shyster is a down-at-the-heels, unshaved and generally disreputable-looking police-court lawyer preferably with a red nose who murders the English language and who makes his living by preying upon the ignorant and helpless." "Like Finklestein?" suggested Tutt. "Exactly!" agreed Miss Wiggin. "Like Finklestein." "He's one of the most honorable men I know!" protested Mr. Tutt.

Throughout this procedure young Cowperwood, only twenty years of age, was quietly manifest. He called during the illness. He attended the funeral. He helped her brother, David Wiggin, dispose of the shoe business. He called once or twice after the funeral, then stayed away for a considerable time.
"Why, the more statutes you pass and more new crimes you create the harder it becomes to enforce obedience to them, until finally you can't enforce them at all." "That is rather a profound analogy," observed Mr. Tutt. "It might well repay study." "Miss Wiggin has no corner on analogies," chirped Tutt.
Now, therefore, a camel will as assuredly give cause for trouble in New York as a brass bed in Bagdad!" "The right thing often makes trouble if put in the wrong place," pondered Mr. Tutt. "Or the wrong thing in the right place!" assented Tutt. "Now all these unassimilated foreigners " "What have they got to do with brass beds in Lebanon?" challenged Miss Wiggin.
