I thought I there was something off color in the i taste, diln'tyou know." "Anything going on in town, Tom?" i "Not a dean thing, me boy, not u deni j thing." "Your mawster goiu' abroad this year?" "Mo oh, you mean Allie. Yes, I dessay. He, lisually goes to get hit 1 closet, you know. Deucid good dresser, Allie an' just me own size, too but don't know much. Ah! if I had his .allowance, now!"
