He tosses off a pony of Bourbon, but his face is not a delight to look upon, "Hopper, you'll be a d d rich man some day." "I cal'late to." "I do the dirty work. And because I ain't got no capital, I only get four per cent." "Don't one-twenty a day suit you?" "You get blasted near a thousand. And you've got horse contracts, and blanket contracts besides. I know you.
If you are her mother, Madame, you will fancy worms; you will examine her linen for pins, and what not. Ah, hypocrite! you, even you, misunderstand her. Yet she has charming natural impulses. See how she tosses her dimpled arms. She looks longingly at her mother. She has a language of her own. She says, "goo, goo," and "ga, ga." She demands something this infant! She is faint, poor thing.
