"You win."
("Well, I'm sorry you can't be with us. Christmas will be coming along bye and bye, and you will need the money.")
"I expect."
("Mis'es will want a present, and she ought to let you get a little more ahead.")
"That's true."
("Well, so long. Toast your feet before you go to bed. And you'd better put a cloth around your neck.")
"Here, don't rub it in. It hurts me worse than you."
("All right. I know you are as sorry as we are. I know how it is. My Mis'es will be at home next week and this will be the last one, so I wanted you to come. Good-by.")
"Good-by. Oh, say! Wait a minute. I've got an idea."
("Good; use it.")
