When they do come they'll surround ye an' try to keep ye back from the water till the stock goes crazy. Lay low an' don't let a Injun inside. Hit may be a hull day, er more, but when Banion's men come they'll come a-runnin' allowin' I git through to tell 'em. "Dig in a trench all the way aroun'," he added finally. "Put the womern an' children in hit an' pile up all yer flour on top.
Tim will hop off that fence he's on and light a-runnin' straight for you if he thinks you've ditched 'Slim' Jim." She shook her head slowly. "No, I'll not t'row Jim down. I'm through with him. He lied to me right while he knew this was all framed up. But I wouldn't snitch on him, even if he'd told me anything. And he didn't peep about what he was up to."
The next moment an automobile flashed into sight coming down the long lower slope from the Gap, the horn blowing continuously, horsemen, pedestrians, buggies and wagons fleeing to the roadside bushes as it roared past in its cloud of dust. "Look, honey, look yon's Sis' Johnnie now!" cried Laurella. "She's a-runnin' Mr. Stoddard's car. An' thar's Unc' Pros ... Is my Lord! Is that Mr.
Oh! the voyalence and frenzy of his demeanor as he stood there a-hollerin'. I wuz out in the wood-house shed a-bilin' my cider apple sass in the big cauldron kettle, but I heard the racket, and as I come a-runnin' in I thought I heard a little rappin' at the settin'-room door, but I didn't notice it much, I wuz that agitated to see the way the stove and Josiah wuz set and wedged in.
Oh yes, I saw them saddle-bags hang-in' up back there, an' they are fine, mighty fine, ez you say, an' his are purty near wo'e out, but lordy, I don't want to buy a Christmus gif' thet's hung up in the harness-room half the time. What's that you say? Won't you all never git done a-runnin' me about that side-saddle? You can't pleg me about that.
Uncle William had taken out a small bottle and was holding it up to the light, squinting through it. "But I had a fever once, myself kep' a-runnin'." He had come over to the bedside, the bottle in his hand. "You got a doctor?" The young man shook his head. "He will come if I send for him." Uncle William nodded. "That's the best kind." He held out the bottle.

Because I guess you still got some natural shame in you a-runnin' with a prizefighter. Oh, I've heard about your goings-on with Bill Roberts. A nice specimen he is. But just you wait till Charley Long gets his hands on him, that's all."
When I awoke, the first I heard was "Well! I declare, if that ain't an amazin' fine shot, too, Considerin' how the critter was a-runnin' the whole blessed time; if I hain't cut her head off with a ball, jist below the throat, that's a fact. There's no mistake in a good Kentucky rifle! I tell you." "Whose head?" said I, in great alarm, "whose head, Mr. Slick? For heaven's sake what have you done?"
Wall, seein' they wuz right there, we went to see the ruins of Yucatan they wuz only a few steps away. Now, I never had paid any attention to Yucatan.
