"Well, Frank," said he, "you know something. What is it?" "I know Miles is trying to buy the black horse for Al Engle." Old Man Curry's fist thumped upon his knee. "Engle! How did you find that out, son?" The Bald-faced Kid grinned. "Everybody ain't as close-mouthed as you are, old-timer.
"I tell you what, fellows," said Steele, "we've just had a few pleasant moments with the man who has made it healthy to keep close-mouthed in Linrock." Hoden lifted his shaking hands. "What'd you wing him for?" he wailed. "He was drawin' on you. Shootin' arms off men like him won't do out here." I was inclined to agree with Hoden.
I don't make no mistakes when I'm putting up trapezes. You'll find everything shipshape and proper. Going to have a big crowd to-day, I guess." Joe looked at Harry Loper closely. The young man had never talked so much before, being, on the whole, rather close-mouthed.

"What does he look like?" continued Simon. "He's a good deal like you, Simon, a good deal." Simon laughed. "Indeed, he must be a rare fellow; I'm getting better-looking every day.

Then he was sensible of a slight shock of wonder and disgust. "I am I was a minister of the Gospel," he said to Presbrey. "What you hint seems impossible. I can't believe it."

There is no counting upon the whims and vagaries of even the average young woman of the day, and as Ruth was a long way above that medium grade, and with positive ideas of her own as to whom she liked and whom she did not like, and was, besides, a most discreet and close-mouthed young person, it will be just as well for us to watch the game of battledoor and shuttlecock still being played between Jack and herself, before we arrive at any fixed conclusions.

Pen watched Sara closely. Sara when calm was close-mouthed.
I thought that odd, for Mac was a close-mouthed beggar as a general thing; but there was no valid reason why he should not proclaim the story from the hill-tops if he chose, so I rolled over and pulled the blankets above my head to protect my ear-drums if Piegan's astonishment should again find verbal expression. The cook's battle-cry of "Grub pi-i-ile" wakened me next.
Worthington had fitted up a shop, and, presently various strange models of contrivances began to take shape there.
