Another step forward and the scout held the bridle in his left hand, while he addressed the astounded Apache in his own tongue, a liberal translation being as follows: "Let my brother, the dog of an Apache, slide off that animile, and vamoose the ranch, or I'll lift his ha'r quicker'n lightning." The savage deemed it advisable to "slide."
"If you'll take that pinter an' keep him till I call fur him, I'll give you half of what Don pays me to get him back." "I seed you bringin' the dog an' I knowed what you was up to," replied his father. "But Don don't get him back fur no dollar, I tell you. That animile is wuth fifty dollars anyhow, an' if Don wants him agin he'll have to plank down five dollars." "Whew!" whistled Dan.
I ain't agoin' to have you a comin' in here a turnin' the whole place outer winder, an' prizing every animile in the stock just for your larks, so don't think it! If you're a buyer, BE a buyer but I never had a customer yet as wanted to buy mice, and lizards, and toads, and guineas all at once. So hout you goes.
"Yes, I certainly did suggest that just now," said Mr Meldrum; "but, as Mr McCarthy pointed out, there is a good deal of sea on, and " "Sure, but I said, sorr, I'd go if you liked," interrupted the first mate eagerly, not wishing to be behindhand when Frank had offered; "and, faix, I'm ready at once." "Let the durned animile slide," put in Mr Lathrope.
They stopped short, Uncle Henry trembling with horror and Aunt Em too terrified to scream. Next moment the poor woman clasped her husband around the neck and cried: "Save me, Henry, save me!" "Can't even save myself, Em," he returned, in a husky voice, "for the animile looks as if it could eat both of us an' lick its chops for more! If I only had a gun " "Haven't you, Henry?
"Oh, it was awful funny!" he went on, squealing with delight. "I saw Snoop drag it under the table and I called Dinah. Didn't I, Dinah?" "Dat's whut yo' done, honey lamb! Ah don't know whut it is Snoop has, Mis' Bobbsey," went on the colored cook, "but it's some sort o' animile!" "And Snoop growled, he did, when he dragged it under the table!" exclaimed Flossie. "I heard Snoop growl, I did!
Now I got back with my own animile a good deal sooner than I expected, but that same thing ain't likely to happen agin. More likely it'll be t'other way, and we may be gone all day, and p'raps all night." "And what am I to do all that time?" "Wait; that'll be easy enough, arter such a rough tramp as I've given yer."
"Thar ain't nary time what I won't run a race if I think thar's ary merit in my hossflesh. How erbout ther animile what yer sits on so graceful?" "Oh, I reckon he kin ride rings eround ther magpie hoss," said Bud, who was a trifle nettled at the old man's jeering tone. "Yer certain got a lot o' confidence in a dead one."
If you give me much more of your sarce I'll set the animile at you."
"Has she got a Cause?" "Naturally." "Philanthropist?" "Worse." "There ain't no sich a animile." "There is. She's a patron of art." "Wow!" "Yes. She's going to patronize you." "Not if I see her first. How do I qualify as a subject?" "She considered you a wasted life." "Where does she get that idea?"
