Squint and Freckles had a fight over it when Squint found out. Squint came over to our place one night after supper and whistled Freckles out. He? says:
“Say, Freckles, I seen you put an apple on Miss Jones's desk this morning.”
“You're a liar,” says Freckles, “and you dastn't back it.”
“I dast,” says Squint.
“Dastn't,” says Freckles.
“Dast,” says Squint.
“Back it then,” says Freckles.
“Well, then, you're another,” says Squint. Which backed it.
Then Freckles, he put a piece of wood on to his shoulder, and said:
“You don't dast to knock that chip off.”
