"It ain't long when Pickles saddles up an' comes chargin' 'round on his little buckskin hoss.
She's gainin' here, and she likes it. That's why I never told her you was chargin' us about double what you charge these rich folks." The manager stiffened. "I regret exceedingly, sir, that you take it this way. But there is nothing more to be said, is there?" It was with a heavy heart and a heavy tread that Briskow returned to his room.
"'I ain't none shore, goes on Billy, as he relates about it to me, 'but I'd stood sech egreegious plays, chargin' it general to 'Doby's gettin' locoed an' mushy; but when this yere ingrate ends his war- song, what do you-all reckon now he does? Turns in an' begins 'pologizin' for me downin' her dad. Which the old hold-up is on the mule an' goin' hell-bent when I curls him up.
W'y, there was a feller one time it was during the army and this feller that I started in to tell you about was in the war and ha! ha! there was a big fight a-goin' on, and this feller was in the fight, and it was a big battle and bullets a-flyin' ever' which way, and bomb- shells a-bu'stin', and cannon-balls a-flyin' 'round promiskus; and this feller right in the midst of it, you know, and all excited and het up, and chargin' away; and the fust thing you know along come a cannon-ball and shot his head off ha! ha! ha!
"'When the contreebution-box which she's a tin plate comes chargin' by, I'm sorter noddin, I'm that weary. I notes the jingle of money, an' rouses up, allowin' mebby it's a jack-pot, I reckons. ""How hard be you-all in?" I says to the gent next to me, who's gone to the center for a peso. ""Dollar," says the gent.
They would grow up into men, because the boys of to-day made the men of to-morrow, and upon the men of to-morrow the fair fame of their glorious native land depended. "If this goes on, my beloved 'earers, it will be my painful duty to rot this bargee." Stalky drew a long breath through his nose. "Can't do that," said McTurk. "He ain't chargin' anything for his Romeo."
"Come out from under the table, and man yer battery agin. Yer old mortars was loaded to the muzzle, and ef ye had depressed the pieces a leetle, ye'd 'a' blowed the cabin to splinters; as it was, the chimney got the biggest part of the chargin', and ye'll find yer rammers on the other side of the mountain."
You was the one that charged up the last things Rastus's folks bought. You know you was." The Captain looked as if he had been caught napping. "Well, what's that got to do with it?" he sputtered. "'Twasn't nothin' but some corn meal and a few yards of calico. How could I help chargin' it up, with that woman cryin' and goin' on about their havin' nothin' to eat nor wear in the house?

She's out, rain er shine, over the whole county, chargin' into town and out amongst her farms, an' up to her sons' places. Sure you ain't goin' to the wrong place?"

Within five minutes at most the great doors would have slammed on him for ever. And here he sat chuckling like a boy at a fair. It is something to be a saint, thought Kit, something to be as sure as that.
