Evidently the worst had happened. "Did you?" said I, blankly. "An' was you was you cotched?" "Is you thinkin' o' she, Davy?" he answered. "Well," in a melancholy drawl, smoothing his stubble of grey beard, his forehead deeply furrowed, "I'm not admittin' I is. But, Davy," he added, "she cast a hook, an' well, I I nibbled. Yes, I did, lad! I went an' nibbled!" One of the twins started up in alarm.
No, Barbie couldn't seem to get callous to this, an' she fought out all differences of opinion from the mere facts o' the case, an' I got to do Jabez the justice of admittin' that he never retreated behind his authority until after he'd been well licked in the open; an' unless it was a mighty important question he took his lickin' like a man.
"You'll do, for a beginner," Hall cried, slapping him jovially on the bare shoulder. "That climb is a stunt of mine. Many's the brave lad that's started with me and broken down before we were half way out. I've had a dozen balk at that big jump. Only the athletes make it." "I ain't ashamed of admittin' I was scairt," Billy growled.
"Very ingenious, Mr. McQuiggan," said Hal. "But you're practically admitting that your ads. are faked." "Admittin' nothin'! I offer you the ads. and I've got the ready stuff to pay for 'em." "And you think that is all that's necessary?" "Sure do I!" "Mr. McQuiggan," remarked Ellis, "has probably been reading our able editorial on the reformed and chastened policy of the 'Clarion."
As to your wife, you bein' a seafarin' character, she's prob'ly got it figgered that a round-up of your fam'ly circle, admittin' all that's got a claim on you, would range all the way from a Hindu to a Hottentot, and would look like a congress of nations.
"I reckon I ain't the snake you think I am, ma'am," he said, looking steadily at her. "But I'm admittin' that mebbe you've got cause to think so. When I left Ben last night I shook hands with him, after fixin' up the difference we'd had. Why, ma'am," he went on earnestly, "I'd just got through tellin' him about you an' me figgerin' to get hooked up. An' do you think I'd shoot him after that?
"Two days ago," answered Barker. "And I don't mind admittin' to you gentlemen that they have been the longest two days I ever spent. Seems to me a good deal nearer like two months. To be two days alone, ashore in the country, is nothin' more than a mere pleasant change; but to be two days alone on a bit of earth hardly big enough to build a house upon whew! I don't want no more of 'em!"
Wimmen a-findin' out things hid in the bowels of the earth! O good land! the idee on't! And engravin's and etchin's done by wimmen way back to 1581. And in stamped leather, wall decoration, furniture, it wuz a sight to see the noble doin's of my sect; and a exhibit that done my soul good wuz from Belva Lockwood, admittin' wimmen to practise in the Supreme Court.
"Besides, there ain't no use in goin' after Nyland's place unless we can get the Double A." "Then there wasn't any use of going after it yesterday, or today, as you did," said the other. "Unless," he added, looking intently at Dale, "the sister has been on your mind some." Dale reddened. "I don't mind admittin' she is," he grinned. "Look out, Dale," warned the other; "there's danger there.
You're admittin' that I've had some chance." Radford sneered. "I ain't wondering why you ain't done it before," he said. "Mebbe it was because you're too white livered. Mebbe you thought you didn't see your chance. I ain't worrying none about why you didn't do it. But you ain't going to get another chance." The weapon came to a foreboding level.
