"Going to keep it in spite of all your tools, whether they're city gangsters, United States Senators, or" with a glance at the stranger "your deputy sheriffs." "Senator!" cried Garman in mock horror. "He slanders the honor of your sacred office!" "Better keep a-hold of your tongue, young feller," warned the deputy. "I'm a little interested in this, too."
Knowing what was expected of 'em, the boys quieted down sudden; and the Hen got a-hold of Kerosene and snuggled her up to her, and told her to weep on her fond breast and Kerosene started in weeping on the Hen's fond breast all right, and left off her howls. The room was that quiet you could a-heard a cat purr.
The little man likely was too mixed up to notice Kerosene didn't talk pretty, like Santa Fé and the Hen knowed how to; and he was so all-round jolted that before he knew it Kerosene getting a-hold of his hand with one of hers, and putting the other on his shoulder he had his arm round her waist kind of by instinct and was footing it away with her the best he knowed how.

"He come down th' ladder an' took a-hold, shutting th' door to keep th' steward from a-lookin' in.
"Who didn't eat what?" Mrs. Ricker and Kitton asked listlessly. "I meant to keep track when the plates come out, but I didn't. Did they all take a-hold rill good?" "They wa'n't any mincin' 't I see," Mis' Holcomb-that-was-Mame-Bliss assured her. "Everything you had was lovely, an' everybody made 'way with all they got."
Hill always said he counted on coming into Palomitas some day on one of his mules bareback leaving the other five dead or stampeded, and the coach stalled somewhere and bringing his hair only because road-agents hadn't no use for hair and his wasn't easy to get anyhow, he being so bald on top there wasn't nothing to ketch a-hold of if anybody wanted to lift what little there was along the sides.
