"What's the matter?" called Penrod from the hydrant, where he was filling a bucket. "What's he doin' now?" "Doin'! He's eatin' the wood part, too! He's chewin' up sticks as big as baseball bats! He's crazy!" Penrod rushed to see this sight, and stood aghast. "Take it away from him, Sam!" he commanded sharply. "Go on, take it away from him yourself!" was the prompt retort of his comrade.
Didn't the devil get after him again?" The reader paused, and gazed down at the boy in a dazed fashion. "What do you want?" he asked vaguely. "I wish them fellows would hustle up, an' quit chewin'. Did Job get all right again?" John McIntyre mechanically turned the leaves. He experienced a grim satisfaction in the boy's complaints. What did these wordy friends of Job know of sorrow and despair?
"Don’t see as how they’d be fool enough to try chewin’ back on their trail again, though," Anse commented. "They need water. Accordin’ to what this guide of theirs says, they’ll need it doubly bad before they finish that road of his. They might just be crazy enough to try here—men have gotten away with tricks such as that before." "Drew."
If there are any problems in town, Don Lorenzo Sierra, here, is the alcalde and they must be referred to him." The captain favored Rennie with a last glare and was gone. Tobe Kells spoke first. "That one’s chewin’ th’ bit an’ gittin’ ready to hump under th’ saddle. This business of tryin’ to run out th’ Rebs, it’ll cause smokin’!"

"'No chance, says Butsy. 'All the stalls is took except these new ones, 'n' the guy who furnished the lumber fur 'em won't unlock 'em till he's paid. "I looks at the stalls there's a great big padlock on each door. "'Why don't they slip him the coin? I says. "'You can search me, says Butsy. 'That's what they're chewin' the rag about now. "Me 'n' Peewee slides over to where the crowd is.
"But one afternoon she was down to the sewin' circle, and the women folks there, havin' finished pickin' to pieces the characters of the members not on hand, started in to go on about the revivals and how much good they was doin'. 'Most everybody had some relation, if 'twa'n't nothin' more'n a husband, that had stopped smokin' and chewin'. Everybody had some brand from the burnin' to brag about everybody but Hannah; she could only set there and say she'd done her best, but that Kenelm still herded with the goats.
When they were safely past he cast a cautious look behind. "I guess that settled her hash!" he said. "Yes, and I'd like to wad a handful of chewin' gum in them old bangs before I leave this man's town!" "You've broken her chance for a happy married life with Jedlick, Taterleg. Your heart's as hard as a bone."
Then there's that black astrakan coat-effect on his back, and the clean-cut lines of his deep chest and slim brown legs, which are more or less decorative. Anyway he got so he looked kind of good to me. Like people, though, Buddy had his bad days. Every once in a while his fondness for chewin' things would get him in wrong. Then he'd have to be scolded.
