The Colossus

CHAPTER XIX
5/20

I am too modest.

Say, I smell liquor.
Who's got a bottle?
Somebody took a cork out of a bottle.

Who was it?
Say, Will, have you got a bottle ?" "Thought you said that your doctor told you not to drink." "He did; he said that I had intercostal rheumatism.

He examined me carefully, and when I asked him what he thought, he replied, 'Mr.
Flummers, you can't afford to drink.'" "And did you tell him that you could afford it--that it didn't cost you anything ?" "Oh, ho, ho, no! Say, send out and get a bottle.

What are you fellows playing there?
Ten cents ante, all jack pots?
It's a robbers' game." * * * * * In every community a stranger wearing black whiskers was under suspicion.
