Dannie stepped back, trying to breathe lightly, and it was between Jimmy and the Thread Man.
"I am sorry," said Jimmy.

"I carried my objictions to your wardrobe too far.

If you'll let me, I'll clean you up.

If you'll take it, I'll raise you the price of a new coat, but I'll be domn if I'll hilp put such a man as you are into another of the fiminine ginder." The Thread Man laughed, and shook Jimmy's hand; and then Jimmy proved why every one liked him by turning to Dannie and taking his hand.
"Thank you, Dannie," he said.

"You sure hilped me to mesilf that time.
If I'd hit him, I couldn't have hild up me head in the morning.".
