"That's the hardship of it, boy the faith that it wants and the patience that it wants! Sometimes it takes the heart out of a man! There're days when I feel like a derelict; when I say to myself, 'Here I am, thirty-eight years old, unanchored, unharbored. Oh, I know I'm young as the world counts age!
Idea of a man lying down, long as he can stagger! Even if the curse downs me in the end, there're lots of things I can do before I go under. There're lots of things to be done in the world big things! Pound away! What if a man is to be laid on the shelf to-morrow? Pound away! Keep doing that's life! Do your best that's living!"

Ted followed, just a little bit afraid, though he did not want to say so. "Don't go too far," begged Janet's brother. "Jan'll be afraid if we leave her alone." "I won't go far," promised Hal. "I just want to see if there're any tramps in here." "Listen an' maybe you can hear them talking," suggested Ted.
That's funny that you an' me should both do it, Andy. But why the hell did you do it?" "Oh, it's too long to tell here. Come up to my. room." "There may be fellers there. Ever been at the Chink's?" "No." "I'm stayin' there. There're other fellers who's A.W. O.L. too. The Chink's got a gin mill." "Where is it." "Eight, rew day Petee Jardings." "Where's that?"
What day-dreams will come into a man's head! Of course, Olimpiáda Samsónovna is a cultivated young lady; and it must be said, there're none on earth like her; but of course that suitor won't take her now; he'll say, "Give me money!" But where are you going to get money? And now she can't marry a nobleman because she hasn't any money.
Well, I've never been regularly married, and I don't expect to, unless something pretty good offers. Think I'd marry one of these rotten little clerks?" Miss Hinkle answered her own question with a scornful sniff. "They can hardly make a living for themselves. And a man who amounts to anything, he wants a refined lady to help him on up, not a working girl. Of course, there're exceptions.
'One lump, please, said the thoroughbred, looking at the fire. 'I thought I remembered, observed the millionaire. 'The tea's good, he added, 'and you'll have to excuse the cup. And there's no cream. 'I'll excuse anything, said the lady, 'I'm so glad to be here! 'Well, I'm glad to see you too, said Mr. Van Torp, giving her the cup. 'Crackers? I'll see if there're any in the cupboard.
"I'm in on it, definitely, eh?" He nodded. "For the duration." "But you're still not telling me everything?" "There're a few things I can't tell you," he said. "I'm following orders in that." Trigger smiled faintly. "That's a switch! I didn't know you knew how." "I've followed plenty of orders in my time," the Commissioner said, "when I thought they made sense. And I think these do."
"The kitchen loft isn't really fit to sleep in," said Sara pessimistically. "It's awfully cold, and there're mice and rats ugh! You and Ray will get nibbled in spots. But it's the only thing to do if we must have Aunt Josephina. I'll get Ray to write to her tomorrow. I couldn't put enough cordiality into the letter if I wrote it myself."

There're some things you have to have at a dinner, but at a lunch there is nothing you are obliged to have, and nothing you may not have if you want it.
