"Perhaps I am saucy; so was Nathan when he said to David,'Thou art the man!' and that's just what I say to you."
"Go about your business," said he, angrily, as he resumed his walk.
"My business, just now, is to get back the money you stole from me; and I'm going to stick to it, too."

"If you don't leave, I'll call a policeman."
"I wish you would. I should like to tell him my story. If you don't call one, I shall, as soon as I see him. I'll follow you till your legs or mine give out."
"You evidently take me for some other person, boy," said he, halting on Front Street, perhaps afraid that we might meet a policeman—a thing which has been known to happen.
