“There it goes again!” said Mrs. Partington, as she
became conscious of the sublimity of a soda fountain one

away like a blessed old locomoco on the railroad. Don't
say anything about Nigary now, — that is n't nothin in

how in natur they can draw so many kinds out of one
fassit, that 's the wonderment to me!” and she readjusted
her specs, and took a new survey of the mystery,

jackstones in the bright brass scale on the other
counter.
