Then I sat back in my chair and waited for the "come-back." Finally he said, "Have some coffee and sinkers" rolls. But I could not go even that! We got to talking, and he asked me where I was living. I smiled at the idea of my living! I wasn't even existing!
In personal disagreements, for instance they never "squabbled" the final insult was to say, "My dear, you're as silly as a something-or- other Radical Govunment," for there was no answer to this anywhere in the world. Come-Back Stumper, therefore, though casual outsiders might never have guessed it, was a valuable ally.
I wish you luck with your bargain. I shall expect you to record this deed within three days, and that will block any come-back you may start figuring on. If you fail to record this deed I shall construe your act as a breach of faith, return to you all but the five hundred thousand dollars which belongs to my wife, and then proceed to make things disagreeable for you.
The latter, I incline to think; for come-back needs no facts, it is a self-feeder, and its entire absence in the anti-Englishman looks as if he had been a German. Germans do not come back when it goes against them, they bleat "Kamerad!" or disappear.
On the way to the chuck-wagon she passed close to George Drazk. It was evident that he had chosen a station with that result in view. She had passed by when she turned, whimsically. "Well, George, how's that Pete-horse?" she said. "Up an comin' all the time, Zen," he answered. She bit her lip over his familiarity, but she had no come-back. She had given him the opening, by calling him "George."
Forget it, Miss Seymour. I wasn't hurt any none to speak of. It don't do a big husky like me any harm to be handed a licking." "You hit him first, didn't you?" "Yes, ma'am, knocked him out cold before he knew where he was at. He was entitled to a come-back. I'm noways hos-tile to him because he's a better man than I am."
I'd just thought out a real snappy come-back too, and was dictatin' it to a stenographer, when Old Hickory happens to drift by with his ear out. He stops short. "Hold on," says he. "What Mrs. Bagstock is that?" "Why, the peevish one, I expect, sir," says I. "Let's see that letter," says he. I passes it over. "Huh!" he goes on, rubbin' his chin reminiscent.
"I just got a notion mebbe you might be looking for one, Mr. Pelfrich. But I don't know sic' 'em. Like as not you ain't fixing up for this Gordon Elliot a-tall." Wally had no come-back, unless it was one to retort in ironic admiration. "You're a wonder, Holt. Pity you don't start a detective bureau." The old man went away cackling dryly.
"Cerebread; it's a great name to advertise." "No come-back to it, either. Nobody can kick on a food." "It's a sure-enough classy proposition, with those swell European names to it!" "Wish he'd let us in on the stock." Success was in the air.
"You two-legged Gatling gun!" howled the fellow, shaking with rage and pain. He halted, shaking his fist in the direction from which the stones had come. Another lot of stones flew toward him. The prowler waited no longer, but turned, making for Gage's camp as fast as he could go. "That ought to hold those rascals for a little while," speculated Harry. "But, of course, there'll be a come-back.
