Lou Garou continued: "Ruddy says: 'Hans dassen't not cash it. He's scared of me, the pot-bellied old fool." The stout German blinked behind his horn spectacles. He feared neither God nor man, but he was very patient. He made no remark. "'If Hans won't, says Ruddy, 'Stewart sure will!" The foreman of the jury rose like a spring slowly uncoiling.

Cappy commenced to chuckle softly. "In-fer-nal rascal!" he declared. "He had me where the hair is short, Matt; he had me where I dassen't defy my own general manager! Yes, sir, that was the long and short of it. I dassen't call his bluff, because he doesn't bluff worth a cent, and I happen to know some of my competitors would like to get him away from me.
"I seen a doctor this morning and he says I am full from rheumatism. I dassen't do nothing, Mawruss, I dassen't touch coffee or schnapps. I dassen't eat no meat but lamb chops and chicken." "I tasted worser things already as lamb chops and chicken, Abe," Morris retorted.
"No, I ain't drinking much between campaigns. Did you know I was going to run for the Illinois house? Yes, that's nearer to my size than a whole congressional district. I'm in for it.

I gotta go off and sit down somewhere."
"All aboard for the big eats," the latter announced. "Mocha's buttoned up in a stud game where he dassen't turn his head to spit. He's good for all night, but I'm on the job." "I'm having supper with 'Poleon," Rouletta told him. The Snowbird paused in dismay. "Say! You can't run out on a pal," he protested. "You got to O.K. my vittles or they won't harmonize."
You could blackmail me until I dassen't call my ship my own." "Don't worry, you snipe. Nobody else will ever hanker to own her." Another insult from McGuffey. Having made up his mind that a fight was inevitable, the honest fellow was above pleading for mercy. "Enough of this gab," Mr. Gibney roared. "My patience is exhausted. I'm dog-tired an' I'm goin' to have peace if I have to fight for it.
Whatever may come to-morrow, to-night you must obey my commands." "I won't do a thing you tell me to. I don't have to, see? My friends will look for you just as soon as I don't turn up, and it will go hard with you." "Just as soon as you do not turn up with the news you have killed me.

He was just starting out when Johnnie Vautrin hailed him from his lair in the hedge. "Heh, Mist' Graeme! I seen " "Better not, Johnnie!" he said, with a warning finger. "If it's anything uncomfortable I'll come right over and jump on you and Marrlyou." "Goderabetin, you dassen't!" "Oh, dassen't I?
