Can't you remember when you and me set on the gate of the big pasture, with our rifles acrost our knees, and waited for them sheepmen to come up and try to get them sheep through us? Did they get through? No; no one had us buffaloed. That was when you and me was men, Curly. "What have we done now? We let this damn hypocrite, Dave Wisner, get the best of us all the way down the line.
It took as good a man as Rufe, here, to put me wise; but I leave my gun in camp after this. I've got them Greasers buffaloed, anyhow, and Jasp knows if he plugs me when I'm unarmed it'll be a sure shot for the pen. The time may come when guns is necessary, but I move that every man leave his six-shooter in his bed and we'll go after 'em with our bare hands. What d' ye say, Ben?"
They had this town buffaloed, Morgan. I'm glad you came back here today and showed us the pattern of a real, old-fashioned man." "I guess I was lucky," Morgan said, with modest depreciation of his valor, exceedingly uncomfortable to stand there and hear this loud-spoken praise of a deed he would rather have the public forget.
Personally, I think that we shall be able to attain our objectives within a few weeks certainly long before you can possibly return from such an extended trip as you have in mind. And since you are so fond of frankness, I will say that I think that Seaton has you buffaloed, as you call it.
You've pretty well played out your string here, anyway." Dade stared at him. "I reckon you'll have to talk a little plainer, Dunne." "Isn't that plain enough? This shooting was square. You let it go as it lies. Otherwise we'll clean up your whole bunch." Dade laughed. "That's sure plain," he admitted. "I like nerve, and you've got it a-plenty, but you ain't got me buffaloed at all.
"I don't know whether we'll be of much use, but we're willing to do anything we're told. All we ask is a little chance to see your country." "You'll have every chance," Dr. Farid told him. "Before there is any work for you, Parnell will have to do a pretty thorough analysis of data we've collected. It's a problem that has us ... what's the American expression? Buffaloed?"
Skinny glanced at Sabota. "Yes, he is ornery," he said. "He runs that joint and boot-legs on the side. He's got a reputation as a slugger and keeps the crowd around him buffaloed. They say he killed a feller beat him to death in a fight over at Sapulpa before he came to Eagle Butte. I don't like the filthy cuss. He's mean!" "He looks it!"
Suppose, now, you'd been tipped off that if you dug under a certain bush in a certain back yard you'd find well, something worth luggin' away? Ah, never mind shakin' your head! This is only supposin'. And we'll say the neighbors were wise; they'd watched you go out with your spade and lantern. And after you'd near broke your back diggin' you found you'd been buffaloed. Are you followin' me?"
I'm kind o' scairt for fear I'll sp'ile suthin' er other. Sometimes I feel as if I'd like to crawl under the grand pyano an' git out o' danger. Now look at old gran'pa Smead in his gold frame on the wall. He's got me buffaloed. Watches every move I make. Betsey laughs an' tells me I can sp'ile anything I want to, but gran'pa is ever remindin' me o' the ancient law o' the Smeads an' the Persians."
"Things got to be pretty fierce bye-and-bye, for they had the police buffaloed, and disturbances got plentyer than the casualties at a butchers' picnic. The strikers got hungry, too, finally, because the principles of unionism is like a rash on your mechanic, skin deep inside, his gastrics works three shifts a day even if his outsides is idle and steaming with Socialism.
