"What camp's this?" he hailed, as they passed a party of miners delving and washing in a little ravine.
LETTER: From Truthful James to Mr. Bret Harte. WILLIAM NYE'S EXPERIMENT. Angel's. Dear Bret Harte, I'm in tears, And the camp's in the dust, For with anguish it hears As poor William may bust, And the last of the Nyes is in danger of sleeping the sleep of the just. No revolver it was Interfered with his health, The convivial glass Did not harm him by stealth; It was nary!
In the canteen there were, amongst others, a Carthusian, two Tonbridge men, and a Haileyburian. They all greeted Silver with the warmth of old friends. "You get to know a lot of fellows in camp," explained Jimmy, as they strolled back to the Eckleton lines. "That's the best of the place. Camp's the best place on earth, if only you have decent weather. See that chap over there?
"Look here, man, the whole camp's at supper. They wouldn't work an extra hour for the devil." "Why don't ye let somebody else ask thim thin? Of course if they've got ye scared " Torrance knew the danger of demanding overtime even when necessitated by their own devilish destruction. He knew the added risk since the recent camp fight.

But notice was forced upon them, and the reason for the camp's desertion impressed upon her, by the weird, drawn-out scream of jubilation that issued from the old woman's withered throat an instant before her old eyes gave her sight of her mistress and froze the cry at her lips. "Ha, ha, ha!" she shrieked, waving skinny arms. "That's the way Red Jabez taught his lambs!
The sheriff turned and made another elaborate apology for having had to trouble the lady. I heard Madge tell him that he hadn't troubled her at all, and then, as the cowboys and Camp walked off, she added, "And, Mr. Gunton, I want to thank you for reproving Mr. Camp's dreadful swearing." "Thank yer, miss," said the sheriff.
One of my chief recollections of Camp's play was his great confidence with the ball. In his room, on the campus, in the gym', wherever he was, if possible, he would have a football with him.

How maddening to have his happy thoughts so rudely broken! In a flash he was hard and stern. "Ride, Blink," he replied briefly. They called the others and hurriedly got out of the corral into the open. "Reckon camp's the best place to meet thet outfit, if they're goin' to meet us," declared Blinky. Pan's father exploded in amazed fury. "Cool off, Dad," advised Pan. "No good to cuss.
It's full o' diamonds calculated to set Kimberly hollerin'. Maybe you fancy a locket with it. It'll take a whole bunch of your dame's " "You'll light right out of this camp with daylight to-morrow!" The tone of the camp-boss banished the last shadow of the pedlar's cast-iron smile. "Oh, yes?" he said, his eyes hardening. "That's wot I said. This camp's private property an' you'll light out.
Say, have you seen a squad o' recruits around here all boys, with new uniforms, and no letters or numbers on their caps?" "Lots and gobs of 'em. Camp's full of 'em. More comin' in by every train."
