We kep' it up and told stories about the way them devils do everything we 'd ever heard of how they hold you and pull out your tongue, or cut off your ears, or run a stake through you and pin you to the ground, or smash your face to a jelly with a rock, or burn you alive, till Pard Huff did n't know which end he was a-standin' on a-tall.
"Have you seen Jerry Durand this sunny mo'nin'?" asked Lindsay with surface amiability. "Wot's it to you?" demanded Collins. "Not a thing. Nothin' a-tall," agreed Clay. "But it may be somethin' to you. I'm kinda wonderin' whether I'll have to do to you what I did to him." "Slim" Jim was not a man of his hands.
Racey did not usually jump at conclusions, but Swing Tunstall was his friend. Marie shook her tousled head. "Nicked shoulder and leg. But it ain't their fault he wasn't rubbed out." "Who's responsible?" demanded Racey. "Doc Coffin." "You said 'their'." "Honey Hoke bumped into Swing just as he went after his gun, so Swing couldn't get his gun out a-tall.
Maybe it hain't legal, but I dunno who's to interfere.... Folks, what ought to be done to this here boy that done a crime and suffered the consequences of it, jest to save his father from another crime the old man never done a-tall?" Neither Mavin nor his father heard. The old elder was muttering over and over, "My boy that was dead and is alive again...."
Sim Gage by now had somewhat quieted his wild team, and he looked at her, his face puckered into a perturbed frown. "Now, now," he said, "don't you take on, little woman." He was abashed at his daring, but himself felt almost like tears, as things now were. "It'll all come right. Don't you worry none. Don't be scared of these horses a-tall, ma'am; I can handle 'em all right.
He'd never take a second mortgage." "Naw, naw, that ain't gonna be the way of it a-tall. It will be fixed so's Old Salt's mortgage won't go into effect till the first one's paid off." "But then till the first one is paid off maybe it will be three-four days Old Salt's five thousand will be unsecured." "It won't be unsecured. It won't go out of Saltoun's hands. He'll pay off the mortgage himself."
Never do go to bed, far as I can make out. They tromp the streets all day and dance at them cabby-rets all night. My feet would be all wore out." Stace Wallis grinned. "So would my pocketbook. I've heard tell how a fellow can pay as high as four or five dollars for an eat at them places." "Nothin' to it nothin' a-tall," pronounced Red dogmatically. Hollister always knew everything.
"For failin' to stand up like a man, Scraggsy, an' battle Hicks an' Flaherty," he informed the culprit, and tossed him over to McGuffey to be held in position for him. "Don't, Gib. Please don't," Scraggs wailed. "It ain't comin' to me from you. I never heard you callin' a-tall. Honest, I never, Gib. Have mercy, Adelbert.
He bestirred himself, folding one of the chained hands upon the other, tugging at the white linen cuffs and drawing the coat sleeves of his prisoner down over the bonds as far as the chain would let them come. "There's the notion," he said. "Just do that-a-way and them bracelets won't hardly show a-tall. Ready? Let's be movin', then." But handcuffs were never meant to be hidden.
"Huh," Luke contented himself with grunting, and subsided. "No fuss a-tall, Thompson?" resumed Racey. "Nary a fuss." "And you was here alla time Dale was here?" "I was here before Dale come, and I was still here when Dale went away." "In the same room with him?" "In this room, yeah. In the same room with him alla time. Shore."
