"Gee! you're as smart as a fish on a hook! You oughtta bought a velvet dunce-cap with your lunch money instead of that brown poke-bonnet. T.B. was what I said T.B." "Honest, Hat, I dun'no' " "For Heaven's sake!
You oughtta seen me the day I quit the shipping-room, right over at the Titanic, too, and then see whether you got something to be scared at." "You you used to work there?" "Six years." "I I ain't scared no more, Eddie; honest, I ain't!" "Gee! I should say not! They ain't even sending you up to the farm." "No, no! They're going to get me a job. A regular outdoor, on-the-level kind of a job.
"Not on yer life, I don't!" said Katie, with an ugly frown. "I hate the old dump! I hate every stone in the whole pile! I could tear that nasty green vine down an' stamp on it. I'd like to strip its leaves off an' leave it bare. I'd like to turn the hose off and see it dry up an' be all brown, an' ugly, an' dead. It's stealin' the water they oughtta have over there in the fountain.

"You boys oughtta have the doc see you," Hart said gently. "He's down at camp now. One of Em's men had an arm busted by a limb of a tree fallin' on him. I've got a coupla casualties in my gang. Two or three of 'em runnin' a high fever. Looks like they may have pneumonia, doc says. Lungs all inflamed from swallowin' smoke.... You take my hawss and ride down to camp, Dave.
I'd hate to tell you how unpopular popular music is with me." "Huh! You couldn't play on a side-comb, much less play on the piano like Charley does. If I didn't have no more brains than some people honest, I'd go out and kill a calf for some!" "You oughtta talk!
