We hadn't been inside our room five minutes before Mrs.General Jackson come a-knockin' at the door.
"'Look a-here,' she says to me, 'there's a unforeseen contingency in my room.

An' it smells.' "So I went right in, an' sure enough it did smell, for she had turned on all the gases, besides the one that was lighted.
"'What did you do that for ?' says I, a-turnin' them off as fast as I could.
"'I'd like to know what they're made for,' says she, 'if they isn't to be turned on.' "When I told Jone about this he looked real serious, an' jus' then a waiter came upstairs an' went into the big man's room.

In a minute he come out an' says to Jone an' me, a-grinnin': "'We can't suit him no better in this house.' "'What does he want ?' asks Jone.
"'Why, he wants a smaller bed,' says the waiter.

'He says he can't sleep in a bed as big as that, an' we haven't none smaller in this house, which he couldn't get into if we had, in my opinion,' says he.
"'All right,' says Jone.
