Francis asked with an air of great childishness. "Nope," said Danny shortly, "didn't see nothin'." "Please, ma'am," began Pearlie again, "it was the cloud around his head on account of the earache that done it." "It is sweet to look into his innocent young eyes and wonder what visions they will some day see," went on Mrs.
"Why, there's Pearlie Schultz," he said at last, with a grin. "Who's she?" The leading lady sat up expectantly. "Steno." The expectant figure drooped. "Blonde? And Irish crochet collar with a black velvet bow on her chest?" "Who? Pearlie? Naw. You mustn't get Pearlie mixed with the common or garden variety of stenos. Pearlie is fat, and she wears specs and she's got a double chin.
Bugsey, lie still and chew your gum, and don't fight any of yez." When Pearlie and her heavy burden arrived at Mrs.
"I should say what ye'r to tell, Pearlie." "True for ye," said Pearlie, "Howld ye'r tongue, Patsey. What will I tell about, honey?" "What Patsey said'll do" said Danny with an injured air, "and don't forget the chockalut drops she had the day ma was there and say she sent three o' them to me, and you can have one o' them, Pearlie."

"No, don't tell that," said Jimmy, "it always makes wee Bugsey cry." "Well," began Pearlie, as she had done many times before.
"Don't you think there's a danger of leadin' them to thinkin' too light of the Lord's day, Pearlie, picknicking that way," asked her mother anxiously, "and maybe makin' them lose their religion?" "O, I'm not worried about that neighborhood losing its religion, ma," said Pearl. "Any neighborhood that could treat a stranger the way they did!
Now, in his hunger for companionship, he strolled up to her desk just as she was putting her typewriter to bed. "Gee! This is a lonesome town!" said Sam, smiling down at her. Pearlie glanced up at him, over her glasses. "I guess you must be from New York," she said. "I've heard a real New Yorker can get bored in Paris.

"Come Danny, that's a man," pleaded Pearlie, "and I'll tell you all about the lovely pink lady when we go home, and I'll get Bugsey's gum for ye and I'll "
