The men crowded in and gazed curiously at the kyacks then at Sundown. Shoop strode forward. "The game's up, Sun. We want the Mexican." "This is me ranch," said Sundown. "I got the papers here. You fellas is sure welcome only they ain't goin' to be no shootin' or such-like. I ain't joshin' this time." A voice broke the succeeding silence. "If the Mexican is in there, we want him that's all."
"No, she is not dead!" and such-like expressions, would be heard from the person, who seemed to be deranged. The thunder grew louder, and the flashes of lightning more vivid, while the noise from the sick-room seemed to increase.
In the ancient, and in the modern romantic, drama, oracles, portents, prophecies, horoscopes and such-like intromissions of the supernatural afforded a very convenient aid to the placing of the requisite finger-posts "foreshadowing without forestalling."

"Hum!" says I, "a right proper gentleman this!" "Aye," quoth Trueman, nodding until his fat cheeks quivered, "and one that doth abhor vagrants and such-like vermin " "As myself?" says I.

Lars Falkenberg wanted to know where I had been and where I was going. Reservoir? A senseless business that reservoir thing. As if people couldn't carry water for themselves.
