7/30 Mr.Barnes is goin' to England next week to help settle the matter for Lady Rosalie. He says she's got nearly a million dollars tied up some'eres. It's easy sailin', though, 'cause Mrs.Banks says so. Did you hear what Rosalie said when she got convinced about bein' an English lady ?" "No; what did she say ?" "She jest stuck up that derned little nose o' hern an' said: 'I am an American as long as I live.'" "Hooray!" shouted Alf Reesling, throwing Isaac Porter's new hat into the air. The crowd joined in the cheering. |
