"We run afoul of each other over to the graveyard," he grunted. "Well, Martha, I don't know what more there is to say about about that thing. I've told you all I know, I cal'late." "But I want to talk a little more about it, Cap'n Jeth. If Mr. Bangs will excuse us we'll go out into the dinin' room. Primmie's up in her room by this time. You will excuse us, won't you, Mr. Bangs?
"Sure thing," returned Frank, composedly, "only both of us want to duck when it looks time for the blamed old gun to bang again. They mean business from the word go, now, and will shoot to hit! By some accident it might run afoul of the boat, and splinters fly. There, get ready to drop, Andy! It's coming!"
"Why, Richard," said he, filling his glass, "had you run afoul any other man in London, save perchance Selwyn, you'd have been drinking the bailiff's triple-diluted for a month to come.

"There, there, ma'am, don't," said Mr. Brooks; "don't go to raising false hopes.
"What's the reason I shouldn't have come up here? When a feller's father is goin' to die if he can't get a doctor afoul of him, it's a case of hustlin' right sharp."

I don't call it a day." "You call it a day in banking. I've got the same right to call it a day in politics." "What infernal notion is afoul of you, Orne, grabbing for my money before you report?"
