I have learned that obsequiousness is best appreciated when it is backed up by prayer and ca'tridges." "What's the idea? I seem to gather you'd like a lift. Jump in." "You do not advocate the Ciceronian style, I take it," chuckled the man as he climbed aboard. Milt was not impressed.
Fact is, them boxes held enough ca'tridges t' lick out another Kiel rebellion 'n' leave over 'nough t' run all th' deer 'tween Thirty-one Mile Lake 'n' the Lievre plumb north into James's Bay, for if there's anythin' your average sportin' deer-hunters can be counted on for sure's death 'n' taxes, it's t' begin throwin' lead, at th' rate o' about ten pound apiece a day, the minute they gets into th' bush, at rocks 'n' trees 'n' loons 'n' chipmucks never killin' nothin' but their chance o' seein' a deer.
"I suppose you think I'm fool enough to let you kill yourself with my gun and me right here where they could nab me. It's got blank ca'tridges, that's all. Somebody changed 'em on me last night just before that that sneak went away on the train." Braddock handed the weapon back to him.
"And I got lots of ca'tridges," chirruped Little Jim. "We can shoot all day." "I wouldn't miss such an opportunity for anything," declared Bartley, yet he was looking at Dorothy when he spoke. Bartley, enjoying his after-dinner smoke, felt that he wanted to know more about the girl who had invited him to call at the Lawrence ranch again.
"Ye can say's ye've decided to remain here, and I'm to attend to some things in Manila, so's it'll look natural like." "As you say," said Locke. "If you'll fetch my coat, I'll write out a check the checks. And my pen's with the book." "I'll bring some paper," said Jarrow, with a glance at Trask. "If you don't mind, unload your gun, and give me the ca'tridges.
By George! On a hot Christmas like this is goin' to be, I'd be the jolliest Jack on the ocean if I could git at that canned fruit. `Well, there's a way, says Andy, `that we might git some of 'em. A part of the cargo of this ship is stuff far blastin' rocks ca'tridges, 'lectric bat'ries, an' that sort of thing; an' there's a man aboard who's goin' out to take charge of 'em.
And he told us you was blank ca'tridges and we needn't back up just 'cause you raised up on your hind legs and howled a little. I've had truck with you cowmen before. I've herded sheep in Wyoming." He walked a few steps with his head down, considering. "I better go over and talk some sense into the other fellow," he said, looking up at Andy as if all his antagonism had oozed in the fight.
And we'll take the ramrod and wipe out the barrel. 'Tis clogged full o' grease, and if you shoots she without cleanin' she out 'tis like to split she." When Skipper Cy had cleaned the gun to his satisfaction he handed it to Charley, with the suggestion: "You'll be needin' some ca'tridges a hundred, whatever." "I'll take a hundred and fifty," said Charley proudly.
We humped out a moderate load, and had just got it down to the boat when we saw those men, or two others, in the haze. I was for lying by, but Charly would get out then." Charly laughed dryly. "He wanted to take the rifle and go back to look for Smirnoff. I'd no use for any trouble of that kind, and I shoved the boat off while he was seeing how many ca'tridges there were in the magazine.
'I saw all my friends was goin', he said, 'an' th'd be nobody left in the country but me. "I reckon I can bite them ca'tridges off with my eye-teeth, if I really want to do it," I says, an' I was on the train an' half-way to Danbury before I recollected that Mrs. Todd had told me to bring home a dime's wuth o' coffee an' a pound o' sugar.
