He threw out the Line of Con about Hard Times when approached for a Diminutive Donation to buy the Ever-Prescnt Poor a Few Necessities. He smoked Two-Hit Lengths of Hope and paid his housekeeper all of $1.75 a week besides her Hoard.

He classified a theatre as a Haunt of the Wicked, mainly because it Cost Cash to get In, while at Church one could Get Hy at Plate Time by faking a Broken Shoestring. One Eventful day a Dis tant delation who traveled for a nourishing Necktie House made the Burg and Glimpsed the II. H. from the Shaded Piazza of the Hotel Ham burg.
