I didn't have a chance to explain, so I asked you to indorse the check to me." "Do you think Collaton's crooked ?" Johnny asked with a queer smile.
"I can think he's crooked without batting an eyelash.

I can think it about Gresham too." "Why do you have that idea about Gresham ?" "Because I don't like him," she triumphantly argued.
"Shake!" invited Johnny.

"I know six reasons why I can do without him.
What are your six ?" "One is because I don't like him, and another is because he's going to marry Constance, and the other four are because I don't like him," she calmly summed up.
"Does Constance say he's going to marry her ?" he inquired crisply.
"Not in so many words." "Then I don't believe it.

I wouldn't marry him for six millions." "Constance can't be so careless.

If they break you they can't sprint fast enough to keep it; but if they take it away from Constance she's broke." "It's ten-forty!" groaned Johnny.
