Eh?
Dear me! you can swear still, can you?
How refreshing.

I fancied you had quite reformed." "Why are you here now ?" asked Charles, sternly.
Raymond shrugged his shoulders.
"Why are you here ?" continued Charles, bitterly, "when you swore to me in July that if I would pay your passage out again to America you would let her alone in future?
Why are you here, when I wrote to tell you that she had promised me she would never give you money again without advice?
But I might have known you could break a promise as easily as make one.
I might have known you would only keep it as long as it suited yourself." "Well, now, I'm glad to hear you say that," said Raymond, airily, "because it takes off any feeling of surprise I was afraid you might feel at seeing me back here.

There's nothing like a good understanding between friends.

I'm precious hard up, I can tell you, or I should not have come; and when a fellow has got into as tight a place as I have he has got to think of other things besides keeping promises.

Have you seen to-day's papers ?" with sudden eagerness.
"Yes." "Any news about the 'Frisco forgery case ?" and Raymond leaned forward through the door, and spoke in a whisper.
"Nothing much," said Charles, trying to recollect.
