"I'll stand by you, Teenie, if that's what you want; an' if we do get Teddy clear, there'll be three of us. Skip won't dare to tackle as big a crowd as that."
"No; but you see the feller ain't out, an' I can't figger how it's goin' to be done."
"We'll tell the judge jest what we saw."
"I don't b'lieve we'll get the chance. They wouldn't let you go anywhere near him, 'less you had a lawyer."
"We've got to fix it somehow."
"Why not get a lawyer?"
"Now you're goin' crazy, Teenie Massey. It costs as much as a dollar to get one of them fellows to go to court. They come high!"
"Don't you s'pose you could hire one, an' let him take it out in trade?"
"By jiminy! I never thought of that. I wonder if I couldn't?"
"It wouldn't do any harm to try. I sell papers to a man that would come an' 'tend to the whole business, I guess, if you'd 'gree to black his boots so many times a week."
