Now, all the fellers I ever met up here would have taken the gold first." "Feeling sure of getting the girl later; is that it?" "That's about the gist of it. They'd tackle what's sartin first, but you're willin' to try the unsartin." "I am, and when can we start?" "In the morning if it's all the same to you. We'll need some extry grub, which we kin git from Shorty.
"There's something fishy," said he. "Can I have the car?" "Of course." "I'm going to run 'em both to earth. I want Barbara to come along. I can tackle men right enough, but when it comes to women, I seem to be a bit of an ass. Besides you'll come, won't you?" "With pleasure, if I can get back early this afternoon." "Early this afternoon?
The dismounted man was half inside the coach where two women shrank from him, and thence his blusterous voice proceeded, "Now, my blowens, hand over, or I'll rummage you. A skinny purse? Come, now, you've more than that. What's under your legs, fatty? Stand up, I say. Ay, hand out the jewel-box. Now, my tackle, what ha' you got aboard? What's under that pretty tucker?"
If there is clear air under the smoke, as you think, why couldn't the ships dart down through the curtain and come to a close tackle with the Martians?" "It would not do at all," said the commander. "We might simply run ourselves into an ambush. No; we must stay outside, and if possible fight them from here." "They can't keep this thing up forever," said the officer.
The Biscuits on which she specialized were light as Down. The Things she fixed to Eat were Fine and Dandy but she never had heard of a Cuisine.

Assuredly Agg had shown nerve, too much nerve, to tackle him in the way she did, and the more he reflected upon Agg's interference the more he resented it as impertinent. Still, Agg had happened to talk sense. "Oh, nothing!" Marguerite agreed quickly, fearfully.

Besides, if he happened to see it there I wouldn't put it past Bluff to tackle the whole bunch in the effort to get his property," Frank went on. Jerry had thrown his gun down as if ready to drop over himself. He now stooped and picked it up again. "Come on, fellows; there's only one thing for us to do," he said.
I decided that if Miss Cara spoke with knowledge, it would do me good to see myself for a brief while as others in the Islands see me, even to hear what they said of me by way of obituary criticism." He paused at a sound on the far side of the cave. It came from the ladder; the sound of Eli's hobnailed boots, rung upon rung, as he climbed aloft towards the adit, to fasten the tackle there.
