"We must get him to one side, kinder."
"And what then?"
"Why then we must up and tell him the hull story."
"I see yer pint, Brill."
"And then," continued Brill, "he can give it to Mr. Willett, and that'll kinder let us out of the scrape."
In token of his approval of this very excellent plan, Collins shook hands with his partner, and then Hank Tims was called outside of the dugout.
The partners were still in doubt as to which of them should tell the story, and noticing that they stood looking at each other Hank asked:
"Is there any fresh trouble up, pards?"
"Wa'al, yes, kinder," said Collins, taking upon himself the painful duties of spokesman.
