Murray's busy right now bossing those three shifts of miners that are driving that adit tunnel, but when he gets the time he'll leave his glass eye on a fence post and come over to see what we're doing. Didn't you ever hear about Murray's glass eye? "Well, they say he lost his good one looking for a dollar that he dropped; but here's the big joke about the fence-post.
Matilda Pitman, throwing open the door, "your conveyance is ready for you. I told Robert he must hitch up and drive you to the station. I enjoy making Robert do things. It's almost the only sport I have left. I'm over eighty and most things have lost their flavour except bossing Robert." Robert sat before the door on the front seat of a trim, double-seated, rubber-tired buggy.
Aunt Hetty was there, bossing Agnes, and they were both "dudsing," as Elly called it to herself, leaning over trunks, disappearing in and out of closets, turning inside out old bags of truck, sorting over, and, for all Elly could see, putting the old duds back again, just where they had been before. Grown-ups did seem to run round in circles, so much of their time!
"They'll try to do the bossing even afterr they'rre licked. Treaties! They've got theirr firrst taste of a Yankee treaty, hey? Didn't even have a sworrd and wanted me to think they werre doin' us a favorr! President Wilson knows how to handle that bunch, all right, all right! Don't row if you'rre tirred." "It don't hurt my leg to row, only I see now I couldn't swim it."
It was much as if he had said, "I am the boss here"; and, indeed, he was. Is it this that sends the Irish to rule as captains of hundreds the world over? The job he was bossing was not very intricate or important, but it was interesting.
But you? you with all your rules and your bossing and your everlasting 'S sh! S sh! you've snubbed all the know-anything out of my face and made my hands nothing but two disconnected machines for somebody else to run! And I hate you! You're a Monster! You're a , everybody hates you!" Mutely then she shut her eyes, bowed her head, and waited for the Superintendent to smite her dead.
In making up your outfit, you want to know every man you hire, and give a preference to gray hairs, for they're not so liable to admire their shadow in sunny or get homesick in falling weather. Tom, where you made a ten-strike with the old man was in accepting that horse herd at Dodge last fall. Had you made a whine or whimper then, the chances are you wouldn't be bossing a herd this year.
"I have sacrificed everything to it," said Rosamund. "Pardon me," said Audrey. "I don't think you've sacrificed anything to it. You just enjoy bossing other people above everything, and it gives you every chance to boss. And you enjoy plots too, and look at the chances you get for that'. Mind you, I like you for it. I think you're splendid. Only I don't want to be a monomaniac, and I won't be."
But it's the chap that seems to be bossing the job." "Oh, that's Smith," said Cochrane. "Smith!" said Cameron, in great surprise. "I don't even know the man. He was good enough to help my wife to beat back the fire. I don't believe I even spoke to him. Who is he anyway?" "Oh, he's Thatcher's man." "Yes, but " "Come away, Mr. Cameron," cried Mrs. Cochrane from the door of the new house.
Dansley immediately appointed me to the same position on his farm, which accounts for his readiness and willingness to pay me high wages. This was a new kind of position for me, and it required considerable thought and management for me to get matters properly arranged in my mind. "Bossing" white hands and working with them, so as to make their labors profitable for my employer, was no easy task.
