"That has been my business."
"I thought so; I have bought papers of you."

"Mr. Rogers wants me, I suppose, or he would not have asked me to call," returned Dan.
"You are a cool hand."
"Not always," said Dan, with a smile. "Some hot days I am far from cool."
"I suppose Mr. Rogers wishes you to supply him with an evening paper?"
"Perhaps he does," returned Dan, with a smile.
