O'Connor, it's not your inexpressibles I'm thinkin' of. I'm not the ninth part o' what I was. I'd hardly make paddin' for a collar now." "Are you able to carry a staff still, Neal?" "I've a light hazel one that's handy," said the tailor, "but where's the use o' carryin' it whin I can get no one to fight wid?

Robert ain't one of the kind to go off half cocked. He's got somethin' on his shoulders besides tailor's paddin', and when he sets the wheels to movin' you can gamble that he's gettin' somewhere. After awhile he slaps his knee and says: "No, there isn't another person around the place who would know how to go about it. Torchy, I'm going to try you out!"
Somebody cleaned out the bank, or else I wasn't hearin' too well afterward. I can see some impressin' stuff an hombre can put in his belly as paddin', an' maybe what he can put on his back. That's fair an' square. The Yankees do it too. But takin' a gold watch or money outta a man's pants now that's somethin' different again." Driscoll stood up.
'Well, you see, Mis' Martin, you has one chance to mah two. 'I don't see it, Martin said. 'Mis' Martin, it's dis way. You has jis' de chance, lak you say, to become worms foh de fruitification of de cabbage garden. But I's got de chance to lif' mah voice to de glory of de Lawd as I go paddin' dem golden streets along 'ith de chance to be jis' worms along 'ith you, Mis' Martin."
But they'd had chow in the giddiest lobster palace under the white lights, they'd occupied two boxes at the zippiest girl show in town and they was loaded down with cigarettes and chocolate enough to last 'em clear to France. The next mornin', when Old Hickory comes paddin' into the general offices, he stops to pat me friendly on the shoulder.
I'll just lay me 'at and coat down 'ere, if you don't mind, Bella. Now, this is cosy. I was thinkin' of this as I came paddin' over the bridge listening to the sound of the wind and the water. A river's a frightenin' sort of thing at night and after 'earin' about the Judgment too."
Ellins comes paddin' out of his stateroom, luggin' two pairs of hip rubber boots. "Torchy," says he, "call Killam, will you?" By the time I'd routed out Rupert, I finds Auntie and Vee waitin' in the main cabin, all dressed for travel. "I may be the oldest joke on record," says Old Hickory, "but I propose to know before morning what is in that mound. Of course, if anyone feels foolish about going "
Hence we artificially raise our sides with a black canvas wash-streak to represent extra freeboard; at the same time paddin' out the cover of the forward three-pounder like as if it was a twelve-pounder, an' variously fakin' up the bows of 'er. As you might say, we've took thought an' added a cubic to our stature. It's our len'th that sugars us.
"I don't know," says Cliffy, "truly I don't, Cousin Robert. They've been following me for an hour, and I've had an awful time." "Maybe you've been makin' a noise like a wienerwurst," says I. About that time Aunt Julie comes paddin' out. "Did I hear some one say Clifford?" says she. "You did," says Mr. Robert. "There he is, the one with the ear muffs. I haven't found out who the others are yet."
