"That's the way it goes--everyone is looking for a silver fox, and that keeps everyone always hopeful and gives vim for labor.

When they don't have silvers or don't hunt and trap, they're looking for something else that takes the place of a silver--some great success.

It's ambition to catch silvers, and the hope of catching them, that makes the world go round." "Well, I never got one yet," said Bobby, "and there's one due me by this time.

Every one gets a silver some time in his life." "Not every one," corrected Skipper Ed.
