"I thought that prob'ly you knew some stylish and reliable gold-bricker havin' met same when you was travellin' round in the show business." Replying to Mr. Look's indignant snort Cap'n Sproul hastened to say: "Oh, I don't mean that you had any gold-bricker friends, but that you knew one I could hire.
