Again the fallen wretch gasped for mercy. "You butted against the wrong man, Perry Jounce," muttered Barkswell, "when you attempted to frighten me from my plans. What is your life to me? No more than his, than that woman's. You must die." The point of the knife touched the heaving bosom of the tramp, above the heart. "Mercy! Spare me, brother !"
Or we might see moving up on wheels a shed, from the open front of which protrudes the great iron head of a ram affixed to a huge beam. If you were under the shed, you would see that the beam was perhaps as much as 60 feet in length, and that it was suspended on chains or ropes by which it could be swung, so that the head butted with a deadly insistence upon the masonry of the wall.
"Because, Bill, you got such an all-fired pretty wife, that's why. All the fellows is crazy over her, an' when they get to runnin' after her, what'll you be doin'? You'll be gettin' busy. And then won't you need a buryin' association to bury 'em? I just guess yes. That was the compliment to your good taste in skirts I was tryin' to come across with when Mary butted in."
"Did you notice Cassidy's grin of triumph?" "Poor Cassidy," she said. "I don't know. He butted in." "All the services are working at cross-purposes. It's a pity." "Well, Cassidy got his man. That's practically all he came for. Evidently he never heard of a code-book in connection with Lauffer's activities. That diagonal cipher caught him."
"The worst day's work you ever did for yourself," said the angry sheriff, "was when you butted into this business." "Yes, yes; go on. Was this to-day or yesterday at the hotel?" "Liar!" roared Lisner. "You never were at the Gadsden House." "Who said I was?" The words cracked like a whiplash.
It's up to you to explain or not, just as you like. But anything you tell me will be treated as absolutely confidential, Adams." "All right. Well, everything I done that day went wrong. I caught the hobo tryin' to rob a couple of wimmin over by the Notch. I was takin' him to Stacey when Bob Brewster butted in.
The sole requirements are that you remain in this room until sent for." "That will not be long?" "I think not, sir." "And who will send for me?" Peter's eyes calmly surveyed me, but without expression. "I am quite unable to answer that, sir." He was enough to provoke a saint, but I had already butted my head against that stone wall sufficiently to learn the uselessness of any further attempt.
"Get down this minute, an' drive 'im off; ef yer don't, I'll tell Mammy you wouldn't min' me." "Riar, you go," said Diddie; "he ain't butted you yet." "He ain't gwine ter, nuther," said Riar, "caze I gwine ter stay up hyear long o' Miss Tot, like Mammy tell me. I 'longs to her, an' I gwine stay wid 'er myse'f, an' nuss 'er jes like Mammy say."
Holcomb sat forward in his chair, so that his strong, lean, sunburnt face was as close to the other man as possible. "You talk both like a coward and a fool. You brought the girl here against her will. If Pasquale had been willing to let you force her into a marriage with you, I wouldn't have heard a squeal out of you. But he butted in. He took her from you.
Then he kicked her with the left foot, and it also stuck like the other, and Brother Rabbit held fast his Guinea negro. "Watch out, now!" he cried. "I've already butted a great many people with my head. If I butt you in your ugly face I'll knock it into a jelly. Turn me loose! Oho! You don't answer?" Bap! "Guinea girl!" exclaimed Brother Rabbit, "Are you dead? Gracious goodness!
