He was amorously inclined last night, the tipsy old fraud! It's shameless, Billy, the amount of money he gets out of Miss Hugonin  for the deserving poor.

"I'm an early bird this morning, and entitled to the very biggest and best-looking worm I can find. You're only a worm, you know--we're all worms. Mr. Jukesbury told me so last night, making an exception in my favour, for it appears I'm an angel.
