"Did each take a personal part in it?" "Yes," replied Captain Guzman with a grin and shrug of the shoulders, "that is to say, so far as directing matters was concerned.

"With all due respect to the parson, to Ruggles and to Bidwell, it strikes me, Mr. Chairman, that they should give the rest of us a show. We have listened to their yawping until it has grown monotonous. Having told us a dozen times, more or less, that he wants us to punish him all he deserves, Mr.
He admitted that he was a hard driver; he had always been proud because men called him the hardest driver in the West. But he argued that he was also a safe driver, and that they had no business to make such a fuss over riding with him. Didn't he ride after his own driving every day of his life? Had he ever got killed? Had he ever killed anybody else? Well! What were they all yawping about, then?
Do you mind letting " "That what I heard them yawping here in the corral?" Selmer folded the paper with care, his fingers smoothing out the wrinkles and pausing to observe the place where Mary V had torn off a corner. "Poets and song birds on the pay roll, eh? Thought I hired you boys to handle horses."
He clenched his fist and bent forward to glare at them in sullen fury. "Damn you! Call yourselves my friends, and sit here yawping, you damned Job's comforters! Think I'm a mummy? when I've lost her!

"That's my notion, too. Now some people like to take a book and sit down and read, and read, and read, or moon around yawping at the lake or these mountains and things, but that ain't my way; no, sir, if they like it, let 'em do it, I don't object; but as for me, talking's what I like. You been up the Rigi?" "Yes." "What hotel did you stop at?" "Schreiber." "That's the place! I stopped there too.
Somebody somebody's yawping for help out here in this awfu' spot! Dinna ye hear it, children?" They did. Their flesh began to creep. Up, upward, struggling between great rocks, it climbed, that cry, where the stony teeth of the Man Killer bit the trail right in two. "Help h-help!" it pleaded. "Oh help!" Then feebly, but fierily: "Oh-h! confound it help, I say!"
You know you're glad I threw him out he couldn't be let go on yammering and yodelling and yawping sedition and treason. Sedition and treason somebody had to deal with it. I was born for this hour I've had my innings in church at last. I can sit quiet for another sixty years now! Go ahead with your meeting, parsons. I reckon you won't be troubled with any more pacifist prayers."
The confounded little squint-eyed nuisances yawping like a flock of steam pianos, and stuffing themselves like aldermen with grass seeds and bugs, while a man sits on a bench and goes without his breakfast. Yes, sir, birds! look at them!" As I spoke I picked up a dead tree branch that lay by the bench, and hurled it with all my force into a close congregation of the sparrows on the grass.
"Don't you bother, dear," said Lamhorn, quietly. "He doesn't understand. YOU mustn't be troubled."
