Then away to the police station. "Captain, Captain, I've found Squeaks! Come, come at once and get him." "I have to know about it first," said he, calmly. "Oh, Captain, there is no time to lose. It is ten o'clock now; the execution is fixed for noon." The Captain shook his head. "Then telegraph the Governor," she begged. "He wouldn't pay any attention to your say-so."
The trouble with you is that you can't see the difference between a good proposition and a bad one. That's why you bought this ranch on say-so. That's why now you're turning down my offer. You either jump without first looking, or you wait until it's too late.
And as for that ditch fairy tale, on your own say-so you wiped out all chance to prove the story." "Then you won't arrest her?" "If you'll furnish the evidence, seh." "I tell you we know she did it. Her father knows it." "Is it worryin' his conscience? Did he ask you to lay an information against her?" asked the officer sarcastically. "That isn't the point." "You're right. Here's the point."
The white man, on the other hand, if he lets out the money for the building, has the say-so on who will do it, and he naturally picks out another white man.

Here's that fellow Langley has built a new play-house in Paris Garden, nearer to the landing than we are, and is stealing our business most scurvily!" Carew shrugged his shoulders.

"A dirty little codfishin' schooner," raved Captain Scraggs, "an' you a-sinkin' the time an' money o' the syndicate in rotten codfish on the say-so of a clairvoyant you ain't even been interduced to.

He belongs to the Packers' Association. They ain't supposed to control the local market. But the way it works out they really do.
I don't get drunk. I don't smoke in bed. I'm decent of habit and I'm clean. I've got money enough to carry me. Couldn't you take me on my say-so? Look me over."
