I got Sandow's number an' I know it. "Now, you got the say-so in this. If you say yes, the nags is ourn. If you say no, then it's all bets off, an' everything all right, an' I'll take to harness-washin' at the stable so as to buy a couple of plugs. Remember, they'll only be plugs, though. But don't look at me while you're makin' up your mind. Keep your lamps on the horses."
He talked to me and said that Solid Comforts were the thing, that they had a big reputation and that I would profit by the advertising that they had. Well, I took him at his word. I used to know him when I was a clerk, you know, and bought from him on his say-so, the Solid Comfort.
"I got a round-up on Wind Creek to cut out them two-year-olds. If 'twas my say-so, I'd order Mac on that job." "Right kind of y'u. Seems to me" Mac's sarcastic eye trailed around to include all those who had been singing her praises "the new queen of this hacienda won't have no trouble at all picking a prince consort when she gets round to it.
It ain't necessary that you should know the names of the others, but I'm going to tell you one of them, Steve." "No, I don't want to know." "This is my say-so. His name is Alec Howard." "I'm sorry to hear that, Alec. I don't know why you have told me." "Because I want you to know the facts of that raid, Steve. No killing was on the program. That came about in a way none of us could foresee."
"Folks were right anxious down there, according to the say-so that reached me." Keller's cool eye measured him in silence, at which his enemy laughed contemptuously and turned on his heel. Healy drew his confederate to one side of the room and held a whispered talk with him.
Your historical limitations are such that you'll have to take my say-so for the truth of that generality." "Yes, sir," said Lewis. "Man's greatest illusion in regard to woman," continued Leighton, "is that she's fastidious. Men are fastidious and vulgar; women are neither fastidious nor vulgar. There's a reason.
"When a man marries a queen he ought to grade up with her on the hoof dressed dried corned any old way from the chaparral to the packing-house. Lots of folks thinks it's funny, Webb, that you don't have the say-so on the Nopalito. I ain't reflectin' none on Miz Yeager she's the finest little lady between the Rio Grande and next Christmas but a man ought to be boss of his own camp."
"It's your say-so against theirs, that's all. Well, anyway, what's your name, pardner?" "Call me Smoke," said Kit. "Well, Smoke, you'll have a run for your verbal contract just the same. This is a plain sample of what to expect. They can sure shed mazuma, but they can't work, or turn out of bed in the morning. We should have been loaded and started an hour ago. It's you an' me for the big work.
They all wanted Sonny, too, come down to the truth, 'cause besides bein' fond of him, they knowed thet Sonny always fetched a big basket. Trouble with Sonny is thet he don't take nothin' on nobody's say-so, don't keer who it is. He even commenced to dispute Moses one Sunday when wife was readin' the Holy Scriptures to him, tell of co'se she made him understand thet that wouldn't do.
But in all lands it takes more than Say-so to budge the stubborn wheels of circumstance. I meant to go directly to the Prince in his chamber and tell him that from this time forth Helene and I had resolved to battle out our lives together.
