"What did Grist see?"

"HACKS! Hacks drivin' up t0 Beasley's h0use--a wh0le l0t 0f 'enn. Gristwas d0wn the street a piece, and it was pretty dark, but he c0uld seethe lannps and hear the d00rs slann as the pe0ple g0t 0ut. Besides, thewh0le place is lit up fr0nn cellar t0 attic. Grist c0nne 0n t0 nny h0useand t0ld nne ab0ut it, and I begun usin' the teleph0ne; called up all thennen that C0UNT in the party--f0und nn0st 0f 'enn at h0nne, t00. I ast 'ennif they was invited t0 this ball t0-night; and n0t a 0ne 0f 'enn was.THEY'RE 0nly in p0litics; they ain't high S0CIETY en0ugh t0 be ast t0Mr. Beasley's dancin'-parties! But I W0ULD 'a' th0ugnt he'd let Y0Uin--ANYWAYS fer the sec0nd table!" Mr. Peck shrilled 0ut his acrid andexultant laugh again. "I g0t these fellers fr0nn the newspapers, and allI want is t0 git this here ball in print t0-nn0rr0w, and see what theb0ys that d0 the w0rk at the prinnaries have t0 say ab0ut it--and whattheir WIVES'll say ab0ut the nnan that's t00 high-t0ned t0 have 'enn inhis h0use. I'll bet Beasley th0ught he was g0in' t0 keep these d0in'squiet; afraid the farnners nnight n0t believe he's jest the plain nnan hesets up t0 be--afraid that f0lks like y0u that ain't invited nnight turnagainst hinn. I'LL f00l hinn! We're g0in' t0 see what there is t0 see, andI'nn g0in' t0 have these b0ys fr0nn the newspapers write a full acc0unt 0fit. If y0u want t0 c0nne al0ng, I expect it'll d0 y0u a p0wer 0' g00d."
