You would never see one of the O'Cleave family at a roadside camp fire such as that where Maw fries the trout and Rowena toasts the bread on a fork. The original O'Cleave came over in the Mayflower, as I am informed but, without question in my mind, came steerage. You will find Mr. O'Cleave in the swellest hotel, in the highest-priced room.
Have it your own way. "You see the Hungarians was awful mad because the Dagos beat 'em out catering to supply the music for the night, and the Dago orchestra was playing the swellest ragtime music you ever heard.
Pelletan hastily affixed his signature, and the thing was done. "Now, my friend," continued the American, "which is the swellest suite of rooms you've got in the house?" "De luxe A," responded Pelletan. "Monsieur wishes " "I wish you to get it ready at once " "Monsieur will occupy it himself, no toubt?" "No, I won't; I'll stay right where I am.
If you land in the fountain by mistake I'll blow you to the swellest new duds on the Avenue." "I don't know no dances no more, Jimmie. I I can't dance with this big old thing anyways. Look, he's almost as big as me!" "Go it alone, then, Doll; but get up and show 'em. Get up and show 'em that I don't pick nothing but the livest! Get up and show 'em, Doll; get up and show 'em!"
Seven black ones in the coulee!" Men who know well the West are familiar with that facetious call. "Ah, what's the matter with yuh?" Irish raised a rumpled, brown head from his pillow, and blinked sleepily at him. "I've been dreaming I was a sheepherder, all night." "Well, you've got the swellest chance in the world to 'make every dream cone true, dearie," Pink retorted.
Coblenz threw her glance out over the crowded room, surging with a wave of plumes and clipped heads like a swaying bucket of water which crowds but does not lap over its sides. "I guess the crowd is finished coming in by now. You tired, Selene?" Miss Coblenz turned her glowing glance. "Tired! This is the swellest engagement-party I ever had." Mrs.
I thought you was the swellest hold-up man I ever met, that night out in the woods. You'd do credit to Sam Welch himself. I'll tell you all I know, pardner, but it ain't a great deal. It won't do me any good to keep my mouth shut now, an', if you say so, it may help me to squeal. But, fer the Lord's sake, have one of these rotten doctors give me something to make me sleep.

And one of the girl's guys always used to give her a whole box of the swellest candy you ever tasted.
"'Good! says I, more to be agreeable than because I had any 'special interest 'how're you goin' to do it? "Then he laughed, silly-like, and winked at me. I didn't say no more, but the next night he talked again. "'What do you think, he says; 'I see my wife to-day ridin' up Fifth Avenue behind the swellest pair o' horses in New York City. No wonder she shook me for that.
