What do you want of her ?" "I want to see her.

Do you suppose you can get that watch back ?" "I'm certain I can.

When my friend the mayor hears my story, you may depend upon it he will get the watch, or upset all the pawn-brokers' shops in the city." "Are you acquainted with the mayor ?" asked Katy, timidly, for, since the adventure of the previous day, she had entertained some slight doubts in regard to the transcendent abilities of Master Simon Sneed.
"Certainly I am.

It was only last week that I had a long and extremely interesting conversation with his honor on the sidewalk here before the store." Katy was satisfied, though Simon did not offer to introduce her to his distinguished friend.

How could she help being satisfied in the face of such astounding evidence?
And Simon's declaration was true, for whatever faults he had, he never made up a story out of whole cloth.
