"Did you work every day?" asked Cathead.
"Every day."
"Every single day?"
"Certainly."
"Didn't you ever take a day off?"
"Oh, occasionally I'd take a day off to go fishing or do a little studying—"
"I don't s'pose they had circuses in those days," interjected Sube.
"Oh, perhaps once during the summer my father would take me to see a good dog and animal show," explained Mr. Cane as he folded his napkin and left the table.
"They didn't use to go in swimmin' in those days, did they?" Sube muttered, taking care that his father did not hear.
"Or play ball?" supplemented Cathead cautiously.
