An hour later, in the house, his mother had asked Jim twice for the person, the person came through the front door, as the Jim just came from the kitchen in the hallway. He waved him silently with a curved finger into the living room. When they were there, the little person lifted his high hat from his head: "Well," said he, "Jim; now just speak, just keep talking!"
But Jim looked at him in astonishment: "What have you, Rod?" He asked. "There is a sweat dripping on every hair," and yet it is cold November weather; and your eyes - - why are you so happy? Did we win the big doorbell? "
"Yes, Jim, something of the kind; or maybe, I'll win it later; because the man is, I think, a sure number!"
"What do you have with the man, Rod?"
"Call the cock first!" Said Rod.
