Zigler means it more. They are quite ambassadorial in their outlook. I guess I'll wait outside and pray while you wrestle with 'em. My business at the Stores finished, and my bag retrieved from the hotel, his moving palace slid us into the country. 'I owe it to you, Zigler began as smoothly as the car, 'to tell you what I am now. I represent the business end of the American Invasion.
An' besides, I was thinkin' I had to an' I'd begun to see a light 'way off a little glimmerin' light o' salvation. "Then what are we to do?" says Walen. "Zigler, what do you advise? Your neck's in it too." "Gentlemen," I says, "something Lord Lundie let fall a while back gives me an idea.
Anyway, they're slower than the Wrath o' God. But on delusions as to their winning out next Thursday week at 9 A.M. they are if I may say so quite British. "I'll tell you a curious thing, too. I fought 'em for ten days before I could get the financial side of my game fixed to my liking. I knew they didn't believe in the Zigler, but they'd no call to be crazy-mean.
"'I'll survive, I says, 'I ain't British. I can think, I says. "'By God, he says, coming up to me, and extending the right hand of fellowship, 'you ought to be English, Zigler! "It's no good getting mad at a compliment like that. The English all do it. They're a crazy breed. When they don't know you they freeze up tighter'n the St. Lawrence. When they do, they go out like an ice-jam in April.

Yes; she was too good for this refractory fool of a country. The training gear was broke, too, and we had to swivel her around by the trail. But I'll build my next Zigler fifteen hundred pounds heavier.
Zigler took a holt of the proposition. She understood Peters from the word "go." There wasn't any house-party; only fifteen or twenty folk. A full house is thirty-two, Tommy tells me. 'Guess we must be near on that to-night. In the smoking-room here, my Lord Marshalton Mankeltow that was introduces me to this Walen man with the nose. He'd been in the War too, from start to finish.
'But I only gave you some papers and tobacco. 'What more does any citizen need? The Cullinan diamond wouldn't have helped me as much then; an' talking about South Africa, tell me We talked about South Africa till the car stopped at the Georgian lodge of a great park. 'We'll get out here. I want to show you a rather sightly view, said Zigler.

Did I tell you my Captain gave me a letter to an English Lord in Cape Town, and he fixed things so's I could lie up a piece in his house? I was pretty sick, and threw up some blood from where the rib had gouged into the lung here. This Lord was a crank on guns, and he took charge of the Zigler.
