"And supposin' I am? Ain't I given you a reason? Sweating? A Chihuahua dog 'ud sweat in this d d place. It's like a smelting furnace." With a stiff, uncertain hand he felt in his pocket, drew out a bandanna and ran it over his face. "God, you'd think there was nothin' in the world but the way I look! I hiked down from the hills on the run to see you and you nag at me till I'm almost sorry I come."

'Pon my soul, Mag, though I would have filled my arms with everything I saw, I wouldn't have put on one thing of all the duds; just hiked off to soak 'em and pay the lawyer. I might have been as old and ugly and rich as the yellow-skinned woman opposite me, who was turning over laces on the middle counter, for all these things meant to me with Tom in jail.

"These here details my new friend give me, ending with a eulogy on Oily Heegan, the Idol of the Idle. "'If he says starve, we starve, says he, 'and if he says work, we work. See! Oh he's the goods, he is! Let's go down by the river mebbe we'll see him. So me and Murdock hiked down Water Street, where they keep mosquito netting over the bar fixtures and spit at the stove.

I was so taken by surprise that I should have sat right there and gone to the bottom with the boat, but Fitzroy jumped overboard straight away and hiked me out." Ready-tongued Cynthia was beginning to find detailed explanation rather difficult, and her speech reverted to the picturesque idioms of her native land. It was the happiest ruse she could have adopted.

Then he hiked back to Bill's and went for him in broken Bostonese, winding up with: "What the skip-two-and-carry-one do you mean, you old hold-your-breath-and-take-ten-swallows, by stealing my good money. Didn't you know the horse was blind? Why didn't you tell me?"
