I don't believe there's anything in this funk of yours.

As to signing that paper, well, we've got to run the Government of this country, as well as a good many other things, if the Government won't leave us alone.

Duge's name is on it right enough, but if you fellows are really going to shake all day about it, let's have the paper, even if we blow up the house.

I'll send for Danes to-night.
We'll meet him down town somewhere--two of us, no more--and see what he can suggest.

If we get that paper, and Duge's illness isn't a sham, he'll come downstairs to face the biggest smash that any man in New York has ever dreamed of, and serve him d----d well right.
