"I heerd somethin' but 'twan't no motorcycles," said Nathaniel Knapp; "'twas a auto or I'm crazy."
If 'twan't for seemin' to show interest in the baggage, dummed if I wouldn't up and ask her." "Names don't count," said Old Man Bogle, oracularly. "She hain't to blame for pickin' her name.

"Hush up, Dumps," said Diddie, "till I tell papa 'bout it. I wouldn't say my lesson, papa, an' Miss Carrie locked me up, an' the chil'en brought me my dinner." "'Tuz me," chimed in Tot.
