I might of knowed you by the look in your eyes. Hey, Slim, damn your good-for-nothing hide, drag Johnny here pronto by the back of the neck!" Johnny, the Chinaman, appeared, blinking at the lights. Joe Pollard clapped him on the shoulder with staggering force. "Johnny, you see!" a broad gesture to Terry. "Old friend. Just find out. Velly old friend. Like pretty much a whole damned lot.
"Pronto, pronto!" murmured the Franciscan, in Spanish, who suddenly became paler, and leaned upon the priest. "And this plan?" said the Franciscan. "Here it is," returned the cardinal. "In whose handwriting is it?" "My own." "Have you anything further to say to me?" "I think I have said a good deal, my lord," replied the cardinal. "Yes, you have rendered the order a great service.
"Pay your bill and let's hike out o' this, pronto!" he said in a low tone. "You ain't got no time to fool with a Carbonate justice shop." But Winton was not to be brought to his senses so easily. "Run away from that swine? Not if I know it. Let him take it into court if he wants to. I'll be there, too." The beaten one was up now and apparently looking for an officer.
"Oh, yes," not looking toward the gap in the hedge, or at me. "He came on the same train with with them." Then some one from the porch yowled reproachfully for her to fetch those banners pronto, and with a little catching of breath, she ran on up the walk. I turned back. Worth and Ina had moved on.
He would get that fence off his mind, anyway. "Say, Patsy, I've rustled wire and posts all we'll need. I guess I'll just turn this receipt over to you and let you get busy. You take the team and drive in today and get the stuff headed out here pronto.
"Because if you are," resumed Sanderson, his voice bringing the big man to a halt, "you're the man I'm wantin' to do my gassin' to. If you ain't runnin' things, why, I reckon you ain't in the deal at all." "Well, I'm runnin' things," sneered the other. "Tell me what you're wantin' or pull your freight out of here, pronto!" "I'm sure some disturbed over my mistake," grinned Sanderson.

As the two were leaving Texas Joe said to Abe: "Are you plumb certain Pablo is at the Heading?" "That's what one of the crew told me to-day." "Well, then I reckon he'll be along pronto."
I want you to get this. I ain't longing to stick around any outfit when the boss don't want me. If the lady says I'm to go, I'll get out pronto; but I don't trust you, and she's got to tell me that face to face before I move a step. Sabe?"
Well, that is where you are bound at present. Move on pronto." She realised the completeness of the trap into which she had fallen, the futility of resistance.
