You will have to get out the best way you can. Can't you crawl up and free your feet?" "No; go get Phil." "Can you hold on?" "I I'll try. Go get Phil." Conley dashed away as fast as he could run. "I knew it, I knew it," he repeated at almost every bound. Teddy's climbers had lost their grip in the rotting wood. Before he could recover himself he had tumbled backward.
What's more, they may have anticipated the very thing that happened: they were prepared for treachery. Their only chance lay in getting safely into their saddles. Oh, I am a good romancer! I should be writing dime novels instead of living the respectable life I do. Conley heard them running for their lives. Assassins had been stationed along the road to head them off, however.
I'm right blind in the eyes!" wailed Deanie. "I wish Sis' Johnnie would come. I wish't she would!" "Uh-huh," commented Bob Conley, who had strolled up in the old man's wake. "Reckon Sis' Johnnie would run things to suit her an' you, Himes, you can cuss me out good an' plenty, but I take notice you seem to have trouble makin' your own family mind." "You shut your head," growled Pap.
There we parted, Conley and Egan leaving with their shares; and with regret on both sides I think, that our ways no longer lay together: for months of close companionship in the bush, facing hardships and sometimes mutual dangers, make a close tie of friendship between men, that is not easily broken.
It'll be a year of Sundays for us, if we do." "A good many years of 'em," muttered Rosie. "I hear a train whistle!" shouted Billy, leaning toward Phil.

'I must claim you for a few moments, said the Countess, and took the startled Conley girls one and all in her beautiful smile of excuse.

Miss Conley, a member of an American traveling circus, who weighed 479 pounds, was smothered in bed by rolling over on her face; she was unable to turn on her back without assistance. There was a girl who died at Plaisance near Paris in 1890 who weighed 470 pounds or more.
"Three cheers for Boss Sparling!" cried Rosie the Pig, springing to his feet, waving the bill above his head. The cheers were given with a will. "I will bid you good-bye tonight," continued Phil.
