Fatha's going to do it pretty soon. He thinks the'e's time enough."
But what I will say is that if any young lady within the sound of my voice," he looked round for the applause which did not fail him in his parody of the pulpit style "should get an invitation to a dance next winta, and should feel it a wo'k of a charity to the young man to go, she'll be sorry on his account, rememba that she ha'n't got this pair o' slippas. "The'a!
I felt it since I been here in this hotel, some, and I can't seem to want to go ova the same ground again, well, not right away." Clementina said, "Why, of cou'se, Mrs. Landa."

Yes, sir," said the landlord taking a fresh start, "they're them kind of folks that live the whole yea' round in hotels; no'th in summa, south in winta, and city hotels between times. They want the best their money can buy, and they got plenty of it. She" he meant Mrs.
"There was something," she answered, "with him." "And I mustn't know what," the young man said patiently. "Yes yes!" she returned eagerly. "Oh, yes! I want you to know I want to tell you.
