"Well," said the chef, "I'll raise you a dolla and a quahta. Say thutty-eight and seventy-five." "W-ell now, you're gittin' up among the figgas where you're liable to own a hawss. You just keep right on a raisin' me, while I sell these ladies some shoes, and maybe you'll hit it yit, 'fo'e night." The girls were trying on shoes on every side now, and they had dispensed with the formality of going in-doors for the purpose.
