"Let me have these fellows' effects," I said. "As to Spiller, I don't expect he could have really been bunking. At all events, let the other fellows think I sent him to Headquarters and he got hit on the way. I expect he was going down with a stretcher party." But, in my heart, I knew better. I knew Spiller for a coward. It is not for me to judge such a man.
As long as you've got strength and inclination to stretch out, you'll always find something stretching out to you. "And now as to that proposition of yours a time back, about bunking here for a time. I'm agreed, with this understanding: I've got a devil of a disposition, but it ain't ever going to be no better and them as don't like it can find new quarters.
As he dismounted, a tow-headed, spindling boy lounged out of the doorway and stood with his hands shoved carelessly into his little overall pockets. "Hello, young feller." "'Lo, stranger." "What's the chance of bunking here for three or four hours and gettin' a good feed for the hoss?" "Never better. Gimme the hoss; I'll put him up in the shed. Feed him grain?" "No, you won't put him up.
There are some things you simply can't do; and one of them is bunking a thing when you're put down for it. It doesn't matter who it is puts you down. If he's captain, you've got to obey him. That's discipline, that 'ere is. The speaker then paused, and took a sip of water from the carafe which stood at his elbow. Cheers from the audience, and a voice 'Hear! Hear!"
If Eve Nolan hadn't been puttering with some of her trick films at the time she and Walt Harris had the so-called night shift and seen them blacken, we'd have been dead before they discovered it. And it took us two weeks of bunking with the sullen crew and decontamination before we could pick up life again. Engineer Wilcox had been decent about helping with it, blaming himself.
"That sounds like you think he took on all that dirt on purpose?" remarked Bumpus. "Perhaps he did," replied Thad; "perhaps the man is playing some sort of part, for a reason of his own." "Bunking with an ignorant foreigner just to get a chance to sneak into camps, and run off with the haversacks that have been carelessly left lying around loose?" suggested Step-hen, still harping on his wrongs.
He'll be sleeping on his nice metal bed in the pavilion assistant camp manager while we're bunking in tents if we're lucky enough to get any space. Don't talk to me! I could see this coming. I suppose the scoutmaster of that troop out in Ohio was a friend of his in France. We should worry. We can go on a hike in August. It's little Alf I'm thinking of mostly."
Carley wondered if this distressing statement had to do in some way with the rest of the trip. She stifled her curiosity. Painful knowledge of that sort would come quickly enough. "Flo, are you girls going to sleep here in the cabin?" inquired Glenn. "Shore. It's cold and wet outside," replied Flo. "Well, Felix, the Mexican herder, told me some Navajos had been bunking here." "Navajos?
When those sorely pressed people, whose very existence is being threatened by these foreigners of a degraded civilization, awaken to the extremity of their danger, the bunking system and its introducers will find perjury and the habeus corpus mill powerless to save them. Mark this, however.
"And which is your room?" Wade asked. "I'm bunking in one of the other buildings." "What? We're putting you out of your own house!" Wade exclaimed. "That won't do, Casey, really it won't. We won't let you." "Of course not," his wife concurred. "Indeed we won't," said Clyde. But Casey was firm. He explained that he came and went at all hours, rose early, had to be where he could confer with McHale.
