“Oh, come, that’s right; and you did back it. Get out with your talking like that. You gave me a cold chill all down my back.”
“Hang it, man, how many more times am I to speak? I tell you I did not back the horse.”
“What! You let such a chance go by? You actually fooled away money like that!”
“I don’t know what you mean by fooled away money.”
“Why, it is fooling away money to let such a chance as that go by you.”
“How was I to know it was a good chance?” cried Glyddyr savagely.
“Why, didn’t I send it to you?”
“Yes; and how many times have you sent me tips which have turned out frauds, and I’ve lost my money?”
“Well, but nobody can be sure, that’s a certainty.”
“No! Yours never were.”
