I made myself sore, and everybody around me, but I'm at the bat now, and don't you never let that fact escape you." "How are you going to spend your money?" inquired Stark. "I'm goin' to eat it up!

It's awful taxin' on the patience.

"Ought to be at the spot we started for in half an hour that island on the old chart." "Never was no island," the skipper roared. "Maybe not." "Supposin' we get there, what then?" "Don't know yet."
"Dumb this mixin' o' military and civilian," said the irritated Deacon, "It's worse'n mixin' religion and politics, and preachin' and tavern-keepin'.
