"He was one of them harmless bluffin' boys you could take by the ear and lead around like he had a ring in his nose." "That's what I told them," Morgan commented, in thoughtful, distracted way. "You sized him up right. He wouldn't 'a' pulled his gun, quick as he was to slap his hand on it and run a sandy. I guess it was just as well it happened to him then as some other time.
He's improved a good deal in euchre lately, and in poker well! he's got that sorter dreamy, listenin'-to-the-angels kind o' way that you can't exactly tell whether he's bluffin' or has got a full hand. Hasn't he?" he asked, appealing to Union Mills. But that gentleman, who had been watching the dark face of the Right Bower, preferred to take what he believed to be his cue from him.
"Well, brace yourself then," says I; "for there's rough goin' ahead. You're wanted in on the carpet." "Me?" says he. "Mr. Ellins wants me?" "Uh-huh," says I, "him and the rest of 'em. But don't let 'em put any spell on you. It's your cue now to forget the meek and lowly business. I know you ain't strong for bluffin' through a game; but for the love of soup put up a front to-day!"
I have owed you fifty for three years and I'd like to square up." "Sure you ain't bluffin' on no pair?" "Thank you, Harley. I have a small stake." "Well, holler when you're hit." He waved his hand and departed with a "Buenas noches, children." Scarcely had the gate slammed behind him when Bob turned to Donna with beaming face. "They're after my water-right, sweetheart they're after it already!"
Thar's times when a scientist, or say, a lit'rary sport comes bluffin' into Wolfville; an' sech folks is a mighty sight too deep for Boggs an' me an' Tutt. If we're left plumb alone with a band of them book-read shorthorns like I deescribes, you-all sees yourse'f, they're bound to go spraddlin' East ag'in, an' report how darkened Wolfville is.
Mallory to-night, you'll be called up to-morrow to hear some Russian language that'll take all the crimp out of that Robert Mantell bang of yours. Now ring up one of them bench-warmers and show us the Baron!" But, say, you might's well try bluffin' your way through the fire lines on a brass trunk check, "You'll find the manager's office two doors to the left, gentlemen," says he.
In spite of herself, she was betrayed into a sharp movement. Joe laughed. "What do you mean?" she demanded. It was his humour to be mysterious. "Never mind. I know what I know." Bela unconcernedly resumed her work. "You jus' bluffin'," she said. "Oh, I'm bluffing, am I?" snarled Joe. He was the picture of a bad-tempered schoolboy. "If you don't treat me right you'll see if I am.
Yer carn't say as it's ever been proved as it wasn't." Stubbins passed the box back to me, and went on without noticing Quoin's remark: "Told you to go an' have a snooze, did he? I don't hunderstand what he's bluffin' at." "How do you mean, bluffing?" I asked. He nodded his head, sagely. "It's my hidea he knows you saw that light, just as bloomin' well as I do."
