"Yes, I see her." "The one with the dizzy hat?" "Yes." "Well, I think she's tryln to beat me out of a fare. When I wont to collect she never looked around, an' I ain't quite sure that she didn't pay me before although al-though I'm almost positive about it.

I wish to thunder I know whether she had paid her fare or not." "I wouldn't worry about it any more," said the thin man. "I paid the lady's fare some time ago she's my wife." |
