"Hold on! What's your hurry?"
Jimmy turned then and saw that Nate was scowling and twisting his watch-chain.
"I've got something to say to you—I mean papa wants me to say something."
"Oh ho!"
"I don't see any need of it, but papa says I must."
Jimmy waited, curious to hear what was coming.
"Papa says I jollied you the other day."
"What's that?"
"Why, fooled you."
"So you did, Nate Pollard, and 'twas awful mean."
