"'Sure, Sam, said I. 'Did you suppose I was going to let you bluff me this way? And that was the last time he ever tried to work the rebate racket on me." "So long as a bluffer is warm about it," said the shoe man, "it's all right; but I do hate to go up against one of those cold bloods, even if he isn't a bluffer." "That depends," said the clothing man.
So before you know it, you've got your knife out or your gun leveled, and then off you go for a wild run in the sierra, until they've forgotten the corpse, see? "All right: that's just about what happened to Monico. The fellow was a greater bluffer than the rest. He couldn't tell a rooster from a hen, not he. Well, I spit on his beard because he wouldn't mind his own business.
"I didn't think it could be possible you wouldn't come round again, old man." "Now, we will have a jolly little racket," said George Harris. "And you want to look out for Merriwell. He is a great bluffer." "But he doesn't bluff all the time," supplemented Harvey Dare. "I found out that he held cards occasionally, for I called him a few the last time he was around."
They knew every verse of the old bluffer by heart not consecutively, but picking 'em out here and there as you fork the mushrooms in a fifty-cent steak a la Bordelaise.
Dear Old Man: I think I was fully a week trying to drive out of my mind my last glimpse of you with your sickly grin, pretending to be tickled to pieces that the only white man within two hundred miles of your shack was going on a holiday. You old bluffer!
Grant surveyed the speaker with mingled amusement and disdain. "Have you got that dose of bile out of your system?" he asked. "If it's all over, go lie down somewhere and forget yourself. That will be a relief. Being ashamed all the time sure must get tiresome." Herbert lost his head at once. "You're a duffer and a bluffer!" he shouted shrilly.
Merely he must go slow; take his own good time on a job; ask all the questions possible of his engineer neighbors. Frankness in engineering, as in any other walk of life, pays. The bluffer is not wanted. No man knows it all, and certainly no engineer knows all there is to know about his profession. Time was when this might have been true; but it isn't true to-day.
It would honestly be a favor if you'd take it off my hands." Henrietta swept on her a look of incredulous delight. "Cally!... Why, you good old bluffer! You know perfectly well that suit's a beauty, as good as new " "No, oh, no! Indeed, it isn't," said Cally, quite eagerly. "You've forgotten it's worn, oh, quite badly worn. I'll show you to-night when you come.
He was stouter, louder, bluffer, than ever. When Miss Payne was introduced to him he honored her with an almost imperceptible bow and a very perceptible stare. Turning at once to Katherine, he exclaimed: "What! in complete marching order already? I protest I never knew a woman punctual before. But I always saw you were a sensible girl. No nonsense about you.
"Well, if Baldy and Slim can prove that they weren't around New York at the time, then I'll agree with you that it was Hank who lifted that box," returned the other detective. "Who is this Hank the Bluffer?" questioned Dick, curiously. "Oh, he's an old one at this sort of game," returned one of the detectives. "He is a wonder at opening safes.
