“Let me see it, please. I have not heard of any such figures.”
“Bob, where is that list of Reachum's?”
“I don't know.”
“D—n it, you had it.”

Tucker emptied the drawer, looked through a pile of papers, but could not find the circular he was looking for He was annoyed by it, and I was sorry.
“Well, let it go,” said he, “but that was the price.”
“There must be a mistake somewhere,” said I, “for the goods cost that at the factory in largest lots.”
“There was no mistake,” he said sharply; “I know what I am talking about. The discount offered was 25 and 10.”
I hastened to assure him that I had not meant that he was mistaken, but that Reachum must have made a mistake.
