"This whole blame country is full of discharged sojers," he growled, "an' they know their biz all right. I reckon them fellers is pretty sure to git one of us yit; anyhow, they 've got us cooped. Say, Bob, thet lad crawling yonder ought to be in reach, an' it's our bounden duty not to let the boys git too gay." Hampton tried the shot suggested, elevating considerable to overcome distance.
He's been a showman in his time, but says he hasn't been in the biz for several years. He knows the biz, though, and has scads of money. We are well fed and get our salaries regular. Him and Prince Carl, that's the midget, are great pals. The midget sleeps in his tent, and the boss seldom lets him out of his sight."
My bloomin young daughter, Sarah Ann, bothered me summut by singin, "Why do summer roses fade?" "Because," said I, arter hearin her sing it about fourteen times, "because it's their biz! Let 'em fade!"
Link's gone down to the city to get some money." "All right," said MePhail; "any time." "Goin' t' snow?" "Looks like it. I'll haf to load a lot o' ca'tridges ready fr biz." About an hour later old lady Bingham burst upon the banker, wild and breathless. "I want my money," she announced. "Good morning, Mrs. Bingham. Pleasant-" "I want my money. Where's Lincoln?"
Forbes thinks that you stole the five hundred dollars, and it will go hard with you when he gets back to biz; that's why I wanted to warn you." "Indeed!" Faith's head towered above the detective's as she spoke. "You are very kind, Mr. Detective; but, as I have stolen no money, nor anything else, I have no fear of Mr. Forbes, or any need of your most extraordinary warning.
I suppose you think you know something about him." "Bet you I know all about him" affirmed Wallis. "He enlisted in the Old Tenth as a common soldier. Before he had been a week in camp they found that he knew his biz, and they made him a sergeant. Before we started for the field the Governor got his eye on him and shoved him into a lieutenancy. The first battle h'isted him to a captain.
There's a piece of fence that looks climbable!" returned Beatrice, swinging herself up with elephantine grace, and dropping with a heavy thud on the other side. "Oh! good biz! We're on a cinder path!" They were indeed in a back lane which led at the bottom of some gardens, then behind a row of stables, and finally through a gate on to the high road.
As I went toward the engine, I met the watchman: "'Phy don't that fireman o' yourn sleep in the house or on the caboose floor such a night as this? He'll freeze up there in that cab wid no blankets at all; but when I tould him that, he politely informed meself that he'd knowed men to git rich mindin' their own biz. He's a sassy slip of a Yankee.
The fact is I've a sale this afternoon. I thought if I could last until after that it might not be a bad thing." "How's the biz?" Burton asked with a touch of his old jauntiness. "Going strong, eh?" "Not so good and not so bad," Mr. Waddington admitted. "We've got over that boom that started at first when people didn't understand things.
How am I to begin again at my time of life, I should like to know?" "Bah!" said Clarisse. "I don't care a damn about it. I shall always find what I want." "Certainly you will," added Simonne. "It'll be a joke. Perhaps, after all, it'll be good biz." And her smile hinted what she thought. Tatan Nene and Louise Violaine were of her opinion.
