Where would a couple of chumps find the southeast line?" "About next week at two o'clock," cried Jimmie. "Come on. We'll start right now, an' get out of the jungle before daylight." In a few moments after taking a fresh start the boys came to a place where a small body of water made a clearing in the forest.
I never thought I'd be sighin' for horse-cars, but these rowdy chumps like Neill Ballard give me a pain. Not one of 'em has sand enough to pull a gun in the open, but they'd plug you from a dark alley or fire out of a crowd. It was different in the old days. I've seen men walk out into that street, face each other, and open fire quiet as molasses. But now it's all talk and blow.
"But he sure looks the part well enough t' keep all Dry Lake indoors and I never knowed Weary t' terrorize a hull town before. And where'd he git that horse? and where's Glory at? and why ain't he comin' on t' camp t' help you chumps giggle? Ain't he had plenty uh time t' foller me out and enjoy his little joke? And another thing, he was hard at it when I struck town. Now, where'd yuh get off at?"
The three men who had waited in the chamber drew together, close to the sullen light of the forge, the torches unlighted in their hands. They seemed to be whispering together, and the boys saw them turn their faces toward a corner not far from the forge. Two more shots came from outside, and then a voice cried, in English: "Open the door, you chumps."
"Come on, Eph," he said, slipping an arm through Gallup's, "let's you and Oi go for a warruk. You nade it, my bhoy you nade it." "If yeou'll jest take me daown to the lake and kick me in, I'll be much obleeged to ye, Barney," said the Vermonter. "It's moighty bad you're faling, Oi dunno?" "By gum! I oughter feel bad. Yeou heard Frank talking about jest sech gol-dinged chumps as I be.
But they know us, and they don't want us, except just for one thing, and that's our money. I tell you, the Americans are the chumps over here. Soon's they got all our money, or think they have, they say, 'Here, you Americans, this is my country; you get off; and we got to get. Ever been over before?" "A great while ago; so long that I can hardly believe it." "It's my first time.
"Gracious man, we've tried; but the absurd old will expressly stipulates that he shall be known only by a certain quaint Roman ring, and unless he has it, no identification, no fortune. He has given the ring away, and that settles it." "Well, you 're all chumps. Why doesn't he get the ring from the owner?"
Oh, there wasn't much of anything: couple chumps with bellyaches, and a sprained wrist, and a fool woman that thinks she wants to kill herself because her husband doesn't like her and Just routine work." "But the unhappy woman doesn't sound routine!" "Her? Just case of nerves. You can't do much with these marriage mix-ups."
"I've always dreamed of such a friendship, and I've always believed that some day the right man would come along and make it possible. Not one in a thousand could understand and meet one half-way " "They'd be liable to go farther," Kent assented dryly. "Yes. That's just the trouble. They'd spoil an ideal friendship by falling in love." "Darned chumps," Kent classed them sweepingly. "Exactly.
"Don't you bait it with anything?" asked Charley, who had watched the making of the snare with much interest. "No, we don't bait un," explained Toby. "'Tis a runway where rabbits goes, and they'll go right through un without bait, and get caught." "Rabbits must be chumps to walk right into a contraption like that without any reason, when they've miles of space to go around," Charley declared.
