"Say, did you get me over here to--"

"I only hope to God when you're done with Cissie you'll--"

"You let me take care of my own affairs. If it comes right down to it,
there's a few things I could tell you, girl, that ain't so easy to

"Oh, anybody that plays as safe as you--"

He raised his voice, shoving back his chair. "Well, if you want me to

"No, no, Kess! 'Sh-h-h-h!"

"If there ever was a girl in my place had a square deal, that girl's

"'Square deal!' Because after I held on and--ate out my heart for three

Carnegie medal on you!"

"You've held down a twenty-dollar-a-week job season in and season out,
when there've been times it didn't even pay for the ink it took to

"There's nothing I ever got out of you I didn't earn three times over."
