"Hi Martin ought to be tied to a tree and switched until he can't see! He's a regular babbling butt-in." "What good did it do him to meddle in that fashion?" burst from Reade. "The mean, worthless fellow! And we had plenty of reason to feel grateful to Colonel Garwood, Amos's father, after the handsome uniforms that were given us."
"He is the sublimated essence of Butt-in; the refined, intrinsic extract of Rubber; the concentrated, purified, irrefutable, unavoidable spirit of Curiosity and Inquisitiveness. A new sensation is the breath in his nostrils; when his experience is exhausted he explores new fields with the indefatigability of a " "Excuse me," I interrupted, "but can you produce one of this type?
But her gentle little countenance for a few seconds wore a baffled expression, and she said softly to herself, "Mr. Buttinski, Butt-in to intrude.

Herculean effort enabled him to restrain his feelings, and present to her only an ordinary-sized smile.
For all he saw resting in the box was a slip of white paper on which had been poorly printed, in lead pencil, the words: "Merry Christmas, Master Butt-in!"

"You're a butt-in. You ain't in this game at all." "Sure he's in," said the crowd. "Sure he's in," repeated the big fellow who had interfered before.
"Say," I whispers, "how about givin' 'em a sample of the butt-in act, so they'll know how it seems?" Vee smothers a giggle. "Let's!" says she.
