Then he said, "She is four minutes slow -regulator wants pushing up." I tried to stop him -tried to make him understand that the watch kept perfect time. He said it wanted cleaning and oiling, besides regulating -come in a week. He took the watch all to pieces while I waited, and then said the barrel was "swelled." He said he could reduce it in three days. He repaired the kingbolt, but what the watch gained in one way it lost in another. I padded my breast for a few days, but finally took the watch to another watchmaker. The oldest man in the world could not make head or tail of the time of day by such a watch, and so I went again to have the thing repaired. ./cache/twain-my-640.epub ./txt/twain-my-640.txt
