"Why, nowhere, I agree with you," said Henry; "but what was your chief duty?" But, come, as you are to be a bon camerado, as the Spaniards say, I must put you in cash with some of your old uncle's broad-pieces. This is cutter's law; we must not see a pretty fellow want, if we have cash ourselves."
Said Walt Whitman, in his familiar "So Long" to Leaves of Grass: Camerado, this is no book; Who touches this touches a man.

Although the match only shone for a few seconds, Frank's quick eyes had sized up the situation. "How is it, Senor Frank; can you get me out, camerado?" asked Joe, with a quiver in his voice.

The pistolling of the Admiral de Coligny has given them a taste of blood, and they may have a fancy for killing Luteranos. Two such as you and I, guarding each other's backs, may see sport before morning, and haply rid the world of a few miscreants. What say you, camerado?" "Good.

Sometimes Spear would be there, sardonically witty, drinking heavily but never befuddled by his liquor. But today the place was silent, practically deserted so Benito, after a glass of fiery Scotch liquor with the factor, made his way into the road again.
