"I believe it's all my eye and Betty Martin," he said, at length, quoting a saying which had been used in his family as an expression of disbelief since the time of his great-grandmother.

"He comes in to see me when I'm hard at work and drops hints," pursued his friend.
«Él viene a verme cuando estoy trabajando a fondo y suelta indirectas», continuó su amigo.
"When I stop to pick 'em up, out he goes.
«Cuando me detengo a recogerlas, se va.
Yesterday he came in and asked me what I thought of a man who wouldn't break his word for half a million.
Ayer vino y me preguntó qué pensaba de un hombre que no rompería su palabra por medio millón.

I just asked him who it was, and out he went again.
Le pregunté quién era, y se fue otra vez.
He pops in and out of my office like a figure on a cuckoo-clock."
Aparece y desaparece de mi oficina como una figura de un reloj de cuco».
