I bet you never thought Uncle Sam was in the amusement business.”

Again I ask myself the question why his friendliness to Alfred Bennett's letters always makes me so instantly cross. "I knew it; I guessed it--the devil-stick." "Don't speak to me, you scoundrel, until you tell me what you have done with the body of my boy." "If you choose to call it so. Only I repeat my warning to Mr. Alymer. Never get married.".
