"Mumps! You struck them, sure enough! But did they say anything about the girl?"

"Nearly eleven hundred dollars—and if those rascals had had the chance they would have robbed me of every dollar of it."
"I shouldn't think you would carry so much."
"I don't usually; but I was paid a large bill today, and went to the circus instead of the bank—not having seen such a show in years. But to come back to business. Will a hundred dollars see you through?"
