I don't believe this girl is going to make him get up on top of that board. My! how he is showing his teeth at her. Say! This is a pretty good show, hey? Glad you came, uh? Say! Look at his teeth!" In truth, the black-maned lion opened his mouth to a frightful extent, making, however, not the slightest sound. He refused to budge. Abbott shuddered. "Samson!" cried the woman, impellingly.
Miss Joline stopped kicking her heels and stared at Una as though she might prove to be human, after all. "Oh no, it's a very nice name," she said. "Fancy being called Joline. Now Schwirtz sounds rather like Schenck, and that's one of the smartest of the old names.... Uh, would it be too much trouble to see if Mr. Truax is still engaged?"
Perhaps Jack Bates unwittingly made plain the situation when he remarked: "I hate to turn down one of our bunch; we've kinda got in the habit uh hanging together and backing each other's play, regardless. But darn it, we ain't millionaires, none of us and gambling, it is a sin. I've got enough up already to keep me broke for six months if I lose, and the rest are in about the same fix.
"Captain Gilbert walked into the bank at exactly ten o'clock Monday morning. The uh uh unusual arrangement contract, to call it so that we'd made with him concerning the defalcation would have expired in a few seconds, and I think I may say," he looked around at the others, "that we should not have been sorry to have it do so. But he brought the sum agreed on." I drew a great sigh of relief.
"It wasn't bad . . . I like the ferries, but they get to be a pain." "I think we should stay right here until the baby is born," Jennifer said. "Uh, yeah." Doing anything else had never crossed Oliver's mind. "But, afterwards, I think we should be looking for a place with more room don't you?" Oliver rubbed his forehead. "I guess," he said. "I hadn't thought that far ahead."
"I reckon he's about half shot," he said, sliding over in the saddle and getting out the inevitable tobacco sack and papers. "Old Pete Williams rode past while you were gone, loaded to the guards and with a bottle uh whisky in each saddle-pocket and two in his coat. He gave me a drink, and then he went on and stopped at camp. He was hung up there for quite a spell, I noticed.
I knowed it," he added with a lugubrious complacency. "I told ye all day that I could smell trouble a-comin'; I knowed dang well 't we'd stir up a mess uh fightin' over here. I never come onto this dang res'vation yit, that I didn't have t' kill off a mess uh Navvies before I got offen it agin.

"No, and the Lazy Eight never had to work the Yellowstone range on spring roundup before either," Park told her meaningly.
What's the matter with getting Chip to go up with you? Couldn't you ring him in on the agent somehow, so he can get the straight of it?" Andy stood up and looked at Weary a minute. "How'd I make Chip believe me enough to GO?" he countered. "Darn it, everything looked all smooth sailing till I got back here to the ranch and the boys come at me with that same old smart-aleck brand uh talk.
If you fellers are hell-bent on smokin' each other up, they's all kinds uh room outdoors. Git! Vamose! Hike!" Conroy wheeled and walked, straight-backed and venomous, to the door.
