Look at the way this Wollop says he tied her up and all that. Humph! Can't you fellers see through this whole business? He tied her up so's the police would find her tied up, that's what he done.
"Nobody but a Yankee'd thought o' that," said the rebel reflectively. "You bet," assented Shorty. "Jeff Davis'd never think of it if he lived to be as old as Methuselah. But that's only the beginnin' of Abe Lincoln's smartness." "He's a durned sight smarter man than we'uns thought he wuz when we begun the war," admitted the Sergeant. "But we'uns 'll wollop him yit, in spite of his smartness."
He fa'r jump, he did; an' den bimeby Mist' Vanrevel he say dat no man oughter be given de pilverige to sell another, ner to wollop him wid a blacksnake, whether he 'buse dat pilverige er not.
"John is right; ye have been a-watchin' this boat," growled the old sailor named Bill Goss, who, it may be as well to state here, was thoroughly under his younger master's thumb for reasons best known to himself. "If I had my way I'd wollop the lot on ye!" And he shook his fist at the occupants of the Spray. "You keep your oar out!" cried Dick sternly.
"But you're a-drinkin' now!" said Pat. "You know what I mean, you small willain; I drink nothin' with spirits in it." "Well, I don't see what you gains by that, Bob, for I heerd Fred Martin say you was nat'rally `full o' spirit, so abstainin' 'll make no difference." "Pat," said Bob sternly, "if you don't clap a stopper on your tongue, I'll wollop you." Pat became grave at once.
I am beginning to understand why crime is so attractive, so alluring. I am almost able to see why you fellows like to go to the penitentiary." "If you could only get shut up for a couple of years, Mr. Wollop, you'd appreciate just what has been done in the last few years to make us fellers like it. You wouldn't believe how much the reformers have done to induce us to come back as soon as possible.
Why don't you have your hanging-bee now?" Macdonald whirled in his tracks. Old Gid Holt was leaning on his elbow with his head out of the window. "You better come and beat me up first, Mac," he jeered. "I'm all stove up with a busted laig, so you can wollop me good. I'd come out there, but I'm too crippled to move." "You're not too crippled to go back to Kusiak with me.
He had discovered who I was, and informed me that he had debated whether to wollop me or give me some rich silver claims. How was I to be greeted by the Mormons? That was rather an exciting question with me. I ate my dinner moodily and sent out for some cigars. The venerable clerk brought me six. They cost only two dollars. They were procured at a store near by.
How do you like the business?" said Marcus, pleasantly. "Very well, sir, thank you," replied Bog, with his eyes still on the floor, "'cept when the boys poke fun at us; 'cos we can't run after 'em in them boxes, and wollop 'em. 'S rather hard, that."
He's always told me that when he could afford to, he'd like to cut the traces and wollop the race with his pen. Many doctors would like to do that. A gag and a chain and ball are not what they're cracked up to be. The pen is mightier than the pill, sometimes, but it often eliminates the butter from the bread." Helen caught at the only part of this speech that she understood.
