Short price, but good, and tilting my hat overmy
forehead I strolled away and left him gaping. No matter how much I try I cannot
please him. I decided to avoid Steak for the nonce,and took up a position near the
track to watch the race.
I left the window and hastened into the kitchen as
he turned tore-enter the house.
I avoided him, I said, because I was afraid that I
might lose mytemper and hit him.
It was all a piece with my presentiments and I
sensed the presence ofthe finger of fate. I put my arm around her and we snuggled
up.
Of course itll win; you can put your undies on it.
What do you do when youve got your mouth full and someone asks you aquestion? I
slowed down as Stanley came up beside me. And I helped youto get away, he
muttered.
And thetoo-perfectly-funny-for-words things he
did!
Maureen and Daisy hurriedly turned the pages of
their race-books.
Theres possibilities in you, honey, she
whispered.
Leave an extra pint in the morning for the future,
please, old chap,I answered. The envelope was addressed to Stanley, so I opened it.
Maureen and Daisy hurriedly turned the pages of their race-books. The Boil told me
in a confidential whisper that hewas such a character.
I felt anempty feeling in my stomach as I rose to
my feet.
It looked like aneven chance of my becoming a
co-respondent or a corpse.
Youre restful, she sighed, and leaned herhead
against my shoulder.
I decided to avoid Steak for the nonce,and took up
a position near the track to watch the race.
The frantic clamour of thebookmakers roared around
us as we entered the ring.
He was not the type of man I usually associatewith.
Its Stanleys party, I answered in the soft voice that turneth awaywrath. I think Iam
too much of a gentleman for that.
I wish to be strictly fairwith you, Stanley, and
treat you in a sportsmanlike way. Its Stanleys party, I answered in the soft voice
that turneth awaywrath.
I might want ter putthe fangs inter you for twenty
or so one er these days. They wallowed round the bend behind everything else thathad
legs. Ive phoned for a taxi, it will be here anymoment. And if it is a head, you
give me two shillings, I added. I caught a glimpse of Woggo temporarily off the
scent in the crowd. I groanedquietly and commenced the assault on the steak. Dont
try these tornado tacticson me; Im not going.
