“Shan’t.”
“I’m asking nicely. Please let me see it.”
“It’s mine!”
“I really need to look at it, young man. Now!”
“Officer, leave my son alone. He’s only playing marbles. What’s wrong with that?”

As usual on a Friday, I've written 55 words for the G-Man. Please forgive me, gentle readers, if I don't get back to your offerings for a few days. It's my birthday, and Easter, and I'm taking a break. Be back before you know it, though!
I sort of wrote this with an American accent. Do they play marbles over there? And is the phrase "lost my marbles" specifically British?
