Presently Johnny again: "Mar sez that everywhere else but yer everybody gives things to everybody Chrismiss, and then she jist waded inter you. She sez thar's a man they call Sandy Claws, not a white man, you know, but a kind o' Chinemin, comes down the chimbley night afore Chrismiss and gives things to chillern, boys like me. Puts 'em in their butes! Thet's what she tried to play upon me.
Then Johnny: "Hevin' a good time out yer, dad?" "Yes, sonny." "To-morrer's Chrismiss, ain't it?" "Yes, Sonny. How does she feel now?" "Better rub a little furder down. Wot's Chrismiss, anyway? Wot's it all about?" "O, it's a day." This exhaustive definition was apparently satisfactory, for there was a silent interval of rubbing.
And whether you strike it or I win it, it's about the same. It's all luck. But it's mighty cur'o's about Chrismiss, ain't it? Why do they call it Chrismiss?" Perhaps from some instinctive deference to the overhearing of his guests, or from some vague sense of incongruity, the Old Man's reply was so low as to be inaudible beyond the room.
