This habit of naming boys after
some friend and hanging two 'Iast"

window, and the physicians voice
called excitedly, "Who's there?"

anxious father.
."Saw my cook, did you? Well,
what the deuce do care if you saw
the cook, the chambermaid, the butler
and the stable boy? You let that bell
alone, you loon, or I'll break your
face! Get out OF that!''
