"'Yas, I knows my Ben w'at runned erway. Does you know whar he is? "'Why, I's yo' Ben, Mars Marrabo. Doan yer know me, marster? "'No, I doan know yer, yer yaller rascal! W'at de debbil yer mean by tellin' me sich a lie? Ben wuz black ez a coal an' straight ez an' arrer. Youer yaller ez dat clay-bank, an' crooked ez a bair'l-hoop.
It don't do for us to find too much fault with the religion of other nations, Miss Meechim, specially them that teaches the highest morality, self-control and self-sacrifice." Miss Meechim was huffy, but Arvilly drove the arrer home. "Gamblin' is prohibted here; you wouldn't be allowed gamble for bed-quilts and afghans at church socials, Miss Meechim." Miss Meechim wouldn't say a word.
Oi wud do betther to whack a man wid a shillelah. And fwhere is the flint to stroike foire?" "O, the flintlock's played out, you flannel-mouthed Irishman," said Shorty irritably. "It's as out-of-date as a bow and arrer. This's a percussion-lock; don't you understand? This is a cap. You stick it right on this nipple, an' when the hammer goes down off goes your gun. Don't you see?"
Medicine Man, he stands up in the plain daylight, and he draws his bow and shoots a arrer plum through that boy. Boy squirms a heap and Mr. Medicine Man socks another arrer through him, cool as you please I have seen that done. Then the medicine man steps up, cuts off the boy's head with his knife holds it up plain, so everybody can see it. That looked pretty hard to me first time I ever seen it.
What made me think of it now is that the King's mark was an arrer, an' it's an arrer that's on that there log I'm showin' ye. Well, sir, I seen it fust at Milliken's Mills a Monday. It was in trouble then, an'it's be'n in trouble ever sence. That's allers the way; there'll be one pesky, crooked, contrary, consarn'ed log that can't go anywheres without gittin' into difficulties.
"Come," said Wingate, and led the way to Molly's little cart. The girl was startled when she saw the old scout, her wide eyes asking her question. "Mornin', Miss Molly!" he began, his leathery face wrinkling in a smile. "Ye didn't expect me, an' I didn't neither. I'm glad ye're about well o' that arrer wound.
Orme was leading by the bridle his own horse, which was slightly lame from a strain received in the hunt. "Some buck'll slip an arrer into him, if he don't look out," said Auberry. "He's got no business out there." We saw Orme making some sort of gestures, pointing to his horse and the others. "Wonder if he wants to trade horses!" mused Auberry, chuckling.
"Not to-morrow, but Sunday we will go together." He shook his head. "To-morrow, Necia! An' I go alone." "Then you won't marry me?" she asked, in a hushed and frightened voice. "No! Dere's wan t'ing I can't do even for you, Necia, dere's wan t'ing I can't geeve, dat's all jus' wan on all de worl'. I can't kill de li'l' god wit' de bow an' arrer.
"The bullit drove through his thigh here, but it didn't tech the bone, and was a sheer waste of lead, fur it only sot him goin' like an arrer. Bill, I sartinly doubt," continued the old man, as he measured the noble animal with his eye, "I sartinly doubt ef I ever seed a bigger deer.
We always called him that. He was one of these broken-down Eton or 'Arrer fellers, folks said. We struck up a partnership kind of casual, both being on the tramp together, and after a while we 'appened to be round about Reigate. And the first house we come to was this Jerry Moore's. He come up just as we was sliding to the back door, and grins that sleepy grin. Like this something.
