“That’s something else you’ll have to learn from Tibbits.”
“Do you know how Tibbits got McGlory to take his ride into the country?”

“You’re the one who is under a delusion.”
“I believe you’ll find out differently. I feel so sure of that, that I’m perfectly willing to go with you to the end of the journey. The facts will come out, at that time.”
