"But about Chuckie?" she returned to the previous question. "You were going to tell me " "I am going to tell you something you will think is very fanciful and it is!

Chuck or chuckie is a word of their time, and I dare say now, meaning "little pig." The idea is again expressed in the rather less polite form of "ground hog" and the hereabouts at least, little known "Maryland marmot" is a third. Scientifically he is known as Arctomys monax, being a rodent and classed with the marmots, very close relatives of the squirrels.
Came down to this candidate-for-office way of comporting himself. It ain't natural." "Not when he's on the same range with Chuckie?" queried the cowman, his eyes twinkling. "Why don't you ever go into Stockchute and paint the town red?" "That's another thing," insisted Gowan. "He started in with Miss Chuckie brash as all hell. Now he acts towards her like I feel." "That's natural.
"Providence guided me, Maister John, and I micht have given a little assistance mysel'. As I was crossing thro' a corner of the Dutch camp, I caught a glimpse of this roast chuckie, with some other bits o' things, and it cam into my mind that that was somebody's breakfast.
"If Miss Chuckie hadn't told us he had made a clean breast of that bridge, I should begin to feel worried about Do you know, Sweetheart, it's the strangest thing in the world the way I feel towards that girl. It's not because she is so lovely. Of course I enjoy her beauty, but that's not it. If Tommy were a girl and grown up that's how I feel." "She is a very dear, sweet girl."
Ye'll just have the burrs and seeds amang the wool if ye keep losing a smart shearer for the sake o' a wheen cards and dice; and ye'll mak' nae heed of convairtin' thae young caterans ony mair than ye'll change a Norroway falcon into a barn-door chuckie.

That wouldn't pay for building any kind of a dam." "And the devil himself couldn't pump the water up out of Deep Cañon," put in Gowan. "The devil hasn't much use for science," said Blake.

"Hold on, Miss Chuckie!" sang out one of the men.
"By James!" vowed Gowan. "Before I'll butcher for such a knock-kneed tenderfoot I'll see him, in " "Hold your hawsses, Kid," put in Knowles. "The joke's on me. You go on and look for that bunch of strays, if you want to. But I'm not going to back up when Chuckie says I'm roped in." Gowan looked fixedly at Ashton and the girl, swore under his breath, and swung to the ground.
"I'll tell you. It is because I am so fond of Chuckie that I am determined to get water on Dry Mesa, if it is possible."
