“Come, sing another song, Jim.”
Jim said he did not remember one.
“Then you sing, Ralph.”
Ralph said every one knew he never did more than join a chorus.
“Then join me in a chorus,” said Goggins, “for I'll sing, if Jim's afraid.”
“I'm not afraid,” said Jim.
“Then why won't you sing?”
“Because I don't like.”
“Ah!” exclaimed Goggins.
“Well, maybe you're afraid yourself,” said Jim, “if you towld thruth.” “Just to show you how little I'm afeard,” said Goggins, with a swaggering air, “I'll sing another song about Jimmy Barlow.”
