I wonder what you'd think if you'd Sit down there and listen to me, and perhaps it'll be time well spent.
'I've handled a Malay crew, which is worse than serpents, and I've mixed it up with most of the scum that sails the seven seas, but this blame snake's got me bluffed all right. He's three fathom long, as big around as the mainmast, and made up principally of muscle and wickedness. "'Just watch me. Watch me! says Merritt.
And were not most of them, probably all of them, rejoicing? His bitterness grew, and at last he turned on his subordinate.

I went to him and found him already dead. You understand Mrs. Marteen I couldn't but believe so I set the stage for robbery. I bluffed it off with everyone. I gave the message to lock up and leave Mahr undisturbed. I wanted an alibi for her or at least to gain time." Brencherly remained silent.

Then I left; thought I'd better quit before I let myself go." George paused and wiped his hot face. "You see how I was fixed?

"Now, Jim, that last follows natural. I haven't had much chance to show how good I am on the draw with a gun. But that'll come soon." "Reckon thet talk's a little air," said Hoden with his dry laugh. "Same as you leanin' a little on the Ranger's side of the fence." "But, Jim, wasn't he game? What'd you think of that stand? Bluffed the whole gang! The way he called Sampson why, it was great!
After his day's work Jonas would lay aside rifle and bandolier, don his overcoat, and stroll into town to see his family. He was challenged by a sentry on one occasion, but Jonas reproved him so severely and bluffed him so completely, that the poor fellow broke into an abject apology, whereupon Jonas very condescendingly promised to say no more about the matter.
"Oh, do you!" I returned carelessly. "All right, then, we 'll let it go at that; only please remember the lady is under my protection. What is your name?"
