Come on, fellows," he said; "grub's ready. Where's Frenchy?" "Over chewin' th' rag with Waffles about his hat he's lost it again," answered Red. "He needs a guardian fer that bonnet. Th' Kid an' Salvation has jammed it in th' corral fence an' Waffles has to stand fer it." "Let's put it in th' grub wagon an see him cuss cookie," suggested Hopalong.
To show you how good them coyotes is, I wants to tell you: I don't notice it ontil the next day. While I'm curled up to the r'ar of that bush they comes mighty near gnawin' the scabbard offen my gun. Fact; the leather looks like some pup has been chewin' it. But right then I ain't mindin' nothin' so oninterestin' as a coyote bitin' on the leather of my gun.
Scared plumb to death, I'll bet, when that fire come over the hill. You needn't 'a' tramped clear down here we was coming on to the house in a minute. I got to chewin' the rag with Kent. Git in; you might as well ride back to the house, now you're here." "Manley didn't come?" Val was standing beside the rig, near Kent. Her white-clothed figure was indistinct, and her face obscured in the dark.
"Smokin' cigarettes is a nasty, filthy habit, an' " "Then I'll smoke a pipe," sez Barbie. "No you won't smoke a pipe! I don't intend to have a gal child of mine smokin' anything. It's disgustin', an " "It ain't as disgustin' as chewin', an' you chew," sez Barbie. "Now you look here!" yells Jabez, hot as a hornet, "I'm a man an' you ain't, an' that makes a heap o' difference.
"Young man," says he, chewin' his cigar savage, "what should you say was the longest steamer trip that one could buy a ticket for direct from New York?" "Why," says I, "my guess would be Buenos Ayres." "Very well," says he, "engage a one way passage on the next boat and see that Mr. Ambrose Wood stays aboard until the steamer sails." Which I did. Ambrose didn't show any hard feelin's over it.
He gives it up reluctant and I backs out. Another minute and I've shoved in where Old Hickory is chewin' a cigar butt savage while he pencils a joker clause into a million-dollar contract. "Excuse me, sir," says I, "but you were expectin' a party from the Belgian Commission, were you?" "No," snaps Old Hickory. "Nor from the Persian Shah, or the Sultan of Sulu, or the Ahkoond of Swat.

Or it might be a smelly old bone that he'd smuggled in from outside. You could guess that would get Vee registerin' a protest and I'd have to talk to Buddy. "Hey!"
Pea-jacket means boat-work, cuttins out, fire-ships, landin parties, and the like. If it's old blue frock and yaller waistcoat, then it's lay em aboard and say your prayers. And if it's cocked hat and chewin a quid, then it's elp you God: for your time's come." "You're a disgrace to the Service, Mr. Lanyon," came a curt voice. "And you're a credit to it, sir," was the hearty retort. "Go below."
Take this: 'Regret very much unable to accept your kind invitation' which might mean anything, from a previous engagement to total paralysis." "Ye-e-es," says Ferdie, hangin' his bamboo stick over his left arm and chewin' the penholder thoughtful, "but Marjorie'll be awfully disappointed. I think she really does want to go." "Ah, squiffle!" says I. "She'll get over it. Whose joint is it, anyway?"
"Then the circus ain't comin', is it?" said Chris. "It don't say so," replied Nora. "It don't say whether it's comin' or whether it ain't." "It doesn't say it's a circus," said Danny. "It might be just an 'ad' for for any old thing." "For a menajeree?" asked Celia Jane. "Or chewin' gum?" suggested Chris. "Or something," affirmed Danny decisively.
