It was our meetin'-place. And there we stood, And Lord! The rows about the government, And arguin! and all about the country, How it was goin' to the dogs. And maybe Somebody'd start a song, and old Pop Dikes Would have to quit the checker-game in the corner That him and Fat Connell was always playin', And never gettin' through. I never seen
He's aye arguin' that writin' and drinkin' gang thegither, and quotin' Robert Burns, but the creature has a wife and five bairns dependin' on him. I spent a fantastic day. For two hours I sat in Norie's dirty den, while he smoked and orated, and, when he remembered his business, took down in shorthand my impressions of the Labour situation in South Africa for his rag.
At last he got sick of arguin', ripped out somethin' brisk and personal, and got his tin shop to movin'. "'You want to cross over to the ocean side, I called after him. 'The Cut-through's been dredged at the bay end, remember. "'Be hanged! he yells, or more emphatic. And off he whizzed. I see him go, and fetched a long breath.
I have seen some of these two tribes, sometimes before leaving their country, begin their ravages in the neighbourhood of Arguin, which they call Agadir, and carry them even to the gates of Morocco. In general, they cultivate no other grain but barley, and sometimes wheat, when there has been plenty of rain.
He introduced there, and upon the island of Arguin, near Cape Blanco, the cultivation of corn and sugar; the whole coast was formally occupied by the Portuguese, whose king took the title of Lord of Guinea. Sugar went successively to Spain, Madeira, the Azores, and the West Indies, in the company of negro slaves.
It's no good arguin' wi' yer, yer won't see any side 'cept yer own." But a third man, bringing the argument back to its original subject, said: "I reckon it's all bloody lies what's in the papers. They caught the gunners when they was telephonin' to Jerry. They stood the 'ole bleed'n' lot up aginst a wall an' shot 'em serve 'em right too." "Go on tell us another!" "I bet yer it's true, now then!"
All he hates is anybody in it." Then he grinned wryly because of his hurt. "No use arguin' with a mule I used to be too good a walker." Casey therefore traded his riding saddle for another packsaddle, and collected six coal-oil cans which he cleaned carefully. William was loaded with cans of water, which he seemed to prefer to Casey, though they probably weighed more.
'After we'd been arguin' a long time about wot 'e called everlution or some sich name, and a lot more tommy-rot that I couldn't make no 'ead or tail of and to tell you the truth I don't believe 'e understood 'arf of it 'imself I ses to 'im, "Well," I ses, "if it's true that we're hall descended from monkeys," I ses, "I think your famly must 'ave left orf where mine begun."
"Did he hand a squeal before he went?" "Not a word. Hadn't time. Peter here didn't ast a thing either." The youth laughed softly, and the man called Peter took up the story. "Tain't no use arguin' with a feller loaded with kerosene in these forests," he said, in a low grumbling way. Then he reached down and snatched a brand from the fire and flung it out on the snow.
"But she had spunk while it lasted.... I was just arguin' with Jim an' Tom about Miss Castaneda." "Gracious! Why, she's beautiful. I never saw any one so beautiful.... How strange and sad, that about her! Tell me more, Laddy. You promised. I'm dying to know. I never hear anything in this awful place. Didn't you say the Senorita had a sweetheart?" "Shore I did." "And he's a cavalryman?" "Yes."
