"An' what would you say if I told you there wasn't a hundred Texan soldiers in San Antonio to meet them seven thousand Mexicans comin' under Santa Anna?" "If you told me that I'd say it was true.

When I see them relics of that noble creeter, paper that he had had his own hand on, that his own eyes had looked at, his own brain had dictated, every one of 'em full of the ardentcy and earnestness of his religion why, they increased the number and frequency of my emotions to a almost alarmin' extent. Here are twenty-nine manuscripts all in his own hand.
A light that flashed through his mind anticipated it. "It's never that beggar," said he, and then, seeing that his description was insufficient: "Which one? Why, the one we was a-talking of only this morning. Him I've been rounding off with Inspector Rowe our boy's man he saw in the Park. You've not been alarmin' yourself about him?"

"Dat's de alarmin' part ob it, Massah Dick. Yo' know yo' tole me to find de houseboat." "Yes." "Well, I found de boat wid dat dar Cap'n Starr on board, an' we made all dem 'rangements wot you spoke about. Den I started to leave de boat. Dar was an eleckric light on de dock an' a man standing near it, a-watchin' de houseboat.
An' he shoves his dust to the center. "Cherokee's peevishness is gone, an' his fault-findin' is over. He's turned as confident an' easy as a old shoe. "It strikes the avaricious gent as alarmin', this quick switch in the way Cherokee feels. It's cl'ar, as one looks in his face, that them trio of kings ain't no sech monstrosities as they was. He ain't half so shore they wins.
Then he'd hang by his chin an' beat his wings; an' it's these frenzied efforts he makes to stay with the game that evolves them alarmin' flutterin's. "'Jule who don't own chickens an' who ain't no patron of cockfights neither is for settin' the shawl-necks on the fence an' pickin' 'em up as we trails back from the Gander-Pullin'.
