But just to show you how liberal I am, I'm going to send a check for ten bucks to this Beecher Ingram, because a lot of fellows are saying the poor cuss preaches sedition and free love, and they're trying to run him out of town." "And they're right! They ought to run him out of town! Why, he preaches if you can call it preaching in a theater, in the House of Satan!
And I'd like to hear a little more cussing. How the Hussars used to cuss! Too much reading and writing nowadays. It makes men too ladylike." By this time he had once more attracted the captain's attention. "Grandfather Fragini, you must drop back you must! If you don't, I'll have you carried back!" called Dellarme, sparing the old man only a glance from his concentrated observation on the front.
I don't often go to the theatre, but when I do I like one of those plays with some ginger in them which the papers generally cuss. The papers say that real human beings don't carry on in that way. Take it from me, mister, they do.
"Sure!" says I. "Most likely I'll get the habit and by the end of the summer I'll be a reg'lar Sandow. Now where's that kitchen alarm clock? Let's see. M-m-m-m! About 5:30 will do for a starter, eh?" Oh, I'm a determined cuss when I get going. Next mornin' the sun and me punched in at exactly the same time, and I don't know which was most surprised.
The senator shook his head and laughed. "Job is an independent cuss," he said, "I'm afraid he'd regard that as an unwarranted trespass on his preserves." Mr. Crewe was ushered out by the stooping secretary, Mr. Freeman; who, instead of seizing Mr. Crewe's hand as he had Austen Vane's, said not a word. But Mr. Crewe would have been interested if he could have heard Mr.
"Fenton's a queer fellow anyway," one man observed reflectively. "He's a damned arrogant cuss." "He has not only the courage of his convictions," Ainsworth responded, "but he has also the courage of his dislikes." "He will never give up the assumption that he is above all rules," the first speaker continued. "He feels that he is being bullied if he is ever asked to submit to a law of any kind."
After a brief examination, he gave his opinion in the following professional style: "No go, Billy; you're done for." "Good God!" exclaimed the Judge, who had watched the Doctor with breathless interest; "ain't ther' no chance?" "Nary," replied the Doctor, decidedly. "I'm a ruined man I'm a used-up cuss," said the Judge, with a look of bitter anguish. "I wish I'd gone under, too."

She no more knew what God is than you or I know, but the spectacled lady must be answered at any cost. "God," she said laboriously, "God is what made us, and a cuss word." Many more questions followed before she was sent back to her place between Uncle Jed and Mrs.
"An' it's good for you, stranger," continued the colonel, "that you ain't been long in camp, else some of the boys 'ud put a hole through you for sayin' anything 'gainst Jim; for we all swear by him, we do. He don't carry shootin'-irons, but no feller in camp dares to tackle him; he don't cuss nobody, but ev'rybody does just as he asks 'em to.
But he don't say nothin'; jest stan's over there on the side o' the rock an' looks as if he'd like to jump off another fifty feet the' was there. "'Don't take it like that, Jud, says Jess, grabbin' holt o' him an' not payin' any 'tention to my bein' there. 'Cry, cuss, swear anything, but don't be so solemn-like.
