"So it is. I suppose I could make him take them, if I wanted to create a row. But I can't do that. I haven't the cheek."
"I'd make him take them, if I was in your place. Anyway, I'd tell him I was going to sue him if he didn't pay up. Perhaps that might scare him."
"I was thinking something of doing so. Do you really think it might make him come down?"
"I know some folks hate to think they are going to be sued. And if he lives in a fine house he must be pretty high-toned."
"Oh, he is! He's a young bachelor, and lives in fine style, directly opposite the home of his rich uncle."
"Then I'd try him again, before I'd give up."
"I will. Do you want to come along?" went on George Van Pelt, who hated a quarrel.
"I might as well. I'm not doing much just now," answered Nelson.
"Of course you haven't given up selling papers?" went on George Van Pelt, as the two walked along.
"No. But I wish I could get something better to do."
