Chapter VIII
Herbert at once withdrew a few steps, placing his hands behind him. "Listen here," he said;--"you think we got time to read a lot o' nothin' in your ole hand-writin' that nobody can read anyhow, and then go and toil and moil to print it on our printin'-press? I guess we got work enough printin' what we write for our newspaper our own selves! My goodness, Florence, I _told_ you this isn't any child's play!" For the moment, Florence appeared to be somewhat baffled.
