Still, though I don't admit that you have the least claim on us, we might possibly buy in your holdings at a fair present price." "That's freeze-out," Dunne returned bluntly.
The women bargained and gossiped in Thompson's store; the men, most of them, were gathered around a stiff game of freeze-out in the Square Deal Saloon; and only the score or more of saddle horses hitched in front of the store, and the dozen or so of buckboards and road wagons parked in the rear of it, showed that Paradise was in its weekly state of mild and patient expectancy.
"Give me somep'n easy! You don't know no more how to play a hand of cards than a giraffe does. I'll throw in all of my Blue Gulch gold-stock and it's worth eight hundred thousand dollars if it's worth a cent I'll put it up against that tin automobile of yours, divide chips even and play you freeze-out for it. You play cards? Go learn hop-scotch!" "You wait!" exclaimed the other indignantly.
Such snow, such ice; so cold, so cold! It was then I lost my eye. My leg I left at Austerlitz, my arm at Jena; my eye I dropped somewhere in the Beresina, so much the better. I could not see that freeze-out. Then they sent me here. And since that I do not know what has happened. They tell me you tell me much. But to believe such foolish stories! Bah! I am not a baby.
"I must be going now, Mr. Haas my mother " "That's right. The minute a man tries to break the ice with this little lady, it's a freeze-out. Now, what did I say so bad? In business, too.

We followed the trail very easily for the first three days, and then we were caught in Freeze-Out canyon by a fearful snow storm, which compelled us to go into camp for a day. The ground now being covered with snow, we found that it would be almost impossible to follow Penrose's trail any further, especially as he had left no sign to indicate the direction he was going.

For thees, look you, is the old Mexican mine.
That chestnut of John's ran away from her as if she was hobbled and side-lined, while this coyote of mine threw dust in her face every jump in the road from the word 'go. If the old man isn't bluffing and will hack his mare, we'll get back our freeze-out money with good interest.
Terry was excitedly tugging at Steve's arm. "Come on; come alive. We're going to play freeze-out with Hell-Fire Packard and his right-hand bower, both. And we're going to keep dad from doing a fool thing. And we're going to Oh, come on, can't you?" Steve got up and stood looking down at her curiously.
