"I always rush. I live in a rush. That's the way to get through."

"Well, I am through, I guess," said Mr. Dosson, philosophically.

"Well, I ain't!" his daughter declared, with decision.

"Well, you must come round often," the old gentleman continued, as a leave-taking.

"Oh, I'll come round! I'll have to rush, but I'll do it."
