Once in a while he would try to crowd into the Conversation just to let them know that old Ready Money was still present, but every time he came up Dearie would do her blamedest to Bean him and put him out of the Game.

Prescott came to help him, and together they raised the beast. Then Stanton sat down heavily on the wreckage. "Well," he remarked, "that was the blamedest fool trick, your riding down the grade; they wouldn't expect that kind of work from us in the service! What I can't account for is that you look none the worse." Prescott, standing shakily in the moonlight, smiled.
It's the blamedest, dirtiest hole in the whole state of Montany yes, or in the whole wide world. Lookit!" He swept a hand around, indicating the interior of the single-room log cabin in which they sat. "Well," commented Sim Gage after a time, taking a meditative but wholly unagitated tobacco shot at the cook stove, "I ain't saying she is and I ain't saying she ain't.

For, the moment the spur touched him, his left hind leg had reached forward in a kick that struck the stirrup a smart blow.
"Men are the blamedest fools," she began abruptly; "'pears like they ain't got the sense of a grayback louse, leastways some of 'em. Now, there's dad, filled up on stuff they call whisky out yer, and consequence is he can't eat any grub for two days or more. Doggone it, it makes me huffy, it plum does.
A tide of color flooded her face to the roots of the hair. She met his steady look reluctantly. "We needn't discuss that, Jim." "Needn't we?"
