"Two?" and Stone drew out his wallet.
"Yes, 'two, three, four—lot of dollars!"
"And then you'll tell us where the pin is?"
"Yes, Sam tell then—it is a sin——"
"Don't sing that again. Look, here's four nice dollar bills; now where's the pin?"
"Where?" Sam looked utterly blank. "Where's the pin? Nice pin, oh, pinny, pin, pin! Where's the pin? Oh, I know!"
"All right, where?"
"Forgot! All forgot. Nice pin forgot—forgot—forgot——"
"Oh, pshaw!" exclaimed Lucille, "he doesn't know anything! I don't believe he really took the pin at all. He heard Agnes and Polly talking about it and he thinks he did."
"Oh, yes, Sam took pin!" declared the idiot boy, himself. "Yes, Sam took pin—pinny-pin—beautiful day, beautiful day, beautiful—beautiful day!"
