Knowing the wide open conditions, Ty was eating all sorts of things, while Spencer had ordered only coffee and rolls, , _ Spencer, looking at Ty, said in a rich southern drawl: “Mah God, Ty, how can you all eat that stuff? Coffee and rolls ‘is all I care for for break fast. Say, Ty, here's 15 cents. Pay the waiter for me. I want to take a little walk.” “Why, we don’t pay for our meals here,” said Ty. “We're staying here on the American plan. It's the same price,’ no matter how much you eat.” “Is that a fact sure enough?” asked Tub, “then pass me that bit of fare, Ty. Ah thinks ah can eat a little bit mo'.”
