Charges were now made that the mayor was in league with the railroad to foist upon the city a great burden of expense, because the law under which cities could compel railroads to elevate their tracks declared that one-fifth of the burden of expense must be borne by the city and the remaining four-fifths by the railroad.
Allow me to say, sir, that it reflects little credit on your honour that you should have imposed on your late employer, and taken advantage of his weak health and faculties to foist yourself upon his family under false colours." "Will you oblige me with a light?" interposed Mr Armstrong. "You are under a delusion if you think I am not perfectly well acquainted with your disreputable antecedents.
"Now you develop a famous, if fatuous, gift of imagination. I'm sorry. I apologise twice." "Imag'nation hell!" Mr. Bross exploded. "Where's your own? It's plain's daylight what I say is so.

'I'll make a mess of it too, he thought, 'to damage Yulia Mihailovna." "Oh, Karmazinov! Quelle honte! I was burning, burning with shame for his audience!" "Well, I shouldn't have burnt, but have cooked him instead. The audience was right, you know. Who was to blame for Karmazinov, again? Did I foist him upon you? Was I one of his worshippers?
