Excerpt from Tourist Tales of California Bryan et there it couldn't be very high, bein's how he always set down on anything over a dollar when they used to make big dinners for him. 'besides, ' says Hiram, 'if 'twas very high priced they would have a kitchen 'stead of cookin' in the front room to save rent.' As luck would have it, I left my glasses in my satchel in our room, an' Hiram left his'n in his overcoat, so we couldn't see a thing on the bill-o-fare or men-you, as they called it. SO we told the waiter we knowed what we wanted, without readin' it of? From a printed paper.
