He had a pickup on the twelfth floor, the floor just under the public landing stages, and at the foot of the escalators leading to the central executive block. "See how they're concentrating, there?" he pointed out.
Battles on the waterfront, assassination and counter-assassination by gun-toting goon squads dominated by gangsters, industrial sabotage, frays between pickets and scabs all were common occurrences. But it was the coming of Telly which increasingly brought such conflicts literally before the public eye.
Fwhy, out in the ould country, when we go man-hunting, we take a goon wid a mouth like a funnel, that ye can put a hat full av balls inter. To the divil wid such a goon as this." "Fix your mind on learnin' the kinks o' that gun, Barney," advised Shorty. "One ball from it put in the right place 'll do more than a hat full from your old Irish blunderbuss.
"Nay, nay; thou'rt not big enew to handle a goon, lad. Wait a bit for that." "Come along, Tom!" cried Dick. "And I say, Hicky, bring the forge-bellows with you, so as we can blow out the will's light if he comes after us."
There is no settler nearer than Jamieson, and they maun ha brocht the goon a' the way frae the Bass." But Campbell was mistaken. There had been another white woman in Gippsland.
