with him, and she stays in, and he slides out in her clothes.  We'll do that, too.” “But looky here, Tom, what do we want to _warn_ anybody for that something's up?  Let them find it out for themselves--it's their lookout.” “Yes, I know; but you can't depend on them.  It's the way they've acted from the very start--left us to do _everything_.  They're so confiding and mullet-headed they don't take notice of nothing at all.  So if we don't _give_ them notice there won't be nobody nor nothing to interfere with us, and so after all our hard work and trouble this escape 'll go off perfectly flat; won't amount to nothing--won't be nothing _to_ it.” “Well, as for me, Tom, that's the way I'd like.” “Shucks!” he says, and looked disgusted.  So I says: “But I ain't going to make no complaint.  Any way that suits you suits me.
