appraised Jimmy thoroughly. "Oh, it's you, is it?" he asked.

what you have guessed, as I never saw you before, my friend."
"
Well, I've seen you before," said O'Donnell, "and ye put one over on me that time
all roight, I can see now. I don't know what your game was, but you and the
Lizard played it pretty slick when you could pull the wool over Patrick O'Donnell's
eyes the way ye done."
"
Oh," said Jimmy, "I've got you now. You're the bull who interfered with my
friend and me on Randolph and La Salle way back last July."
