I've tried you out and you can hear better than I can. There's some game you're working on me and if there is, I'll...." "Can the tragedy, Shepard. Save it for that famous whipping stunt of yours. Beat this girl up a bit, and tell me where she is." "I'll do that in an hour, and not a minute sooner, and I've got to have the other three hundred." Mary dropped the receiver.
But think of a long, really cold drink waiting for you at the end of a three-days' stunt into those iniquitous hills, when you came in covered with sand and with a throat like a dust-bin! Half of it went at a gulp to wash the sand down; the rest one drank slowly and with infinite content. That ice-chest had the prestige of a joss.
As a matter of fact active thinking did not make the time seem so long as when his attention was fixed on the number of minutes he was trying to stay under. "I must see if I can't work out something like that," Joe continued to muse. "It ought to go well. I'd have to have some apparatus made for it, though. Well, one thing at a time. I'll stick to the fish stunt for a while yet."
Biff, the conservative; Biff, whose vote was invariably for the negative on any proposition involving an investment of Bobby's funds, unexpectedly added his weight for the affirmative. "It's a good stunt, Bobby. Go to it," he counseled, and the Caravaggio smiled down at him. Again Bobby laughed. "All right, Biff," said he. "I'll hunt up the manager of the Orpheum right away."
And Gandil, from the South Seas, growled with averted eyes: "This is the most fool stunt the chief has ever pulled." "Right, pal," answered Mansie. "You take a snake in out of the cold, and it bites you when it comes to in the warmth; but the chief has started, and there ain't nothing that'll make him stop, except maybe God or McGurk."
He is ranked as a scout of the first-class, as indeed he should be, but he is frightfully lazy. He is a one stunt scout, as they say, but immensely popular. One hundred dollars in cash was offered for him and refused, so you can tell by that. After supper Tom sought out Hervey. "Herve," he said, "I don't suppose you ever tried your hand at keeping a secret, did you? Where's your Eagle badge?"
"That's the hitch I'm afraid of! If only she hadn't been so precipitate only waited a bit for him to come back to her." "I don't agree with you," rapped out Gillian smartly. "Women are much too ready to do the patient Griselda stunt. I think" with a vicious little nod of her brown head "it would do Michael all the good in the world to come back and want Magda want her badly.
No matter what your stunt may be, in this the country of the free, you'll find that loafing never pays; cut out the flossy grand stand plays; put in your hardest licks and whacks, and get right down to Old Brass Tacks, and, undismayed by bruise or fall, go right ahead in short, play ball! The modern airs are cheerful, melodious and sweet; we hear them sung and whistled all day upon the street.
Haney said in indignation: "I came out here to ask the Major to help us. The Chief's gettin' a gang together, too. There's some Indians of his tribe that work here. We can count on them for plenty of rough stuff. And there's Joe and me. The point is that Mike's stunt makes it certain that everything busts loose at a time we can know in advance.
Do you need me to tell you the fool stunt I played to beat schedule, and get back to Nita and the kiddie? Do you need to know about a darn territory that every Indian north of 60° is scared to death of? A territory only fit for devils and such folk, like the neches reckon it's peopled with? Do you want to hear about an outfit that found everything Nature ever set for the world's biggest fools?
