Flo Say, cousin, I guess I've got you on a string now, as I heard you say this morning. Asa Wal, what if you have, didn't I see you casting sheep's eyes at that sailor man this morning? Ah, I reckon I've got you on a string now. Say, has he got that ship yet? Flo No, he hasn't, though I've used all my powers of persuasion with that Lord Dundreary, and his father has so much influence with the admiralty. Asa Wal, din't he drop like a smoked possum? Flo There you go, more American. No, he said he was very sorry, but he couldn't. |
