Arethusa, you’ve got to write to Jack, and tell him to get me Granite." "Granite!" screamed the niece in surprise. "Yes, Granite. She was a maid I had in New York. I want her to come here. She must come. Tell him to offer her anything, and send her C.O.D. If I can have Granite, maybe I’ll feel some better. You write Jack." "I’ll write to-night," shrieked Arethusa.
You got you Shiloh, Drew, an’ you said you made a foal deal with th’ Old Man. Git some more good-lookin’ an’ actin’ wild ones an’ you’re in business—runnin’ your Spur R brand. Three-four years, an’ th’ luck a man has always got to hope for, an’ you’ve more’n jus’ a stake—you’ve got roots an’ a spread!" "We have," Drew corrected. "Why’d you suppose I wanted that foal deal?
I’ll fix this rat you’ve got in here. He’s caught, all right!” So long as Cutter had me by the throat, there was no chance for me at all. I got hold of his thumb and bent it back, until he let go with a yell. In a bound, I was on my feet, and easily sent him sprawling to the floor.

Why he should wish for a flint-lock rifle was an unanswerable question, but someone wanted that sort of a gun or it would not have been made, and my father’s letters showed him to be a man of sentiment, and impractical, just the sort of fellow to use a flint-lock when he might just as well have had a modern breech-loading high-power rifle. “I believe you’ve hit it, dad.
I wanted to pay a debt. I wanted to pay a debt of honor but to whom I won’t say.” “Allow me to make a note of that,” said the prosecutor. “By all means. Write down that I won’t say, that I won’t. Write that I should think it dishonorable to say. Ech! you can write it; you’ve nothing else to do with your time.”
"There’s a better game than that," he said, his articulation very thick; "but it takes nerve if you’ve got it, you spindle-legged little cockney!" Flint struck at him aimlessly.

I don’t believe in medicine. It’s a useless institution. I mean to go into all that. But what’s that sentimentality you’ve got up there? The whole class seems to be there every day.”
“There were reasons which you shall know directly. Anyway, I am glad to make your acquaintance. I’ve long been hoping for an opportunity, and have heard a great deal about you,” Kolya muttered, a little breathless. “We should have met anyway. I’ve heard a great deal about you, too; but you’ve been a long time coming here.” “Tell me, how are things going?” “Ilusha is very ill.
