That's a blizzard effect to her face; an' the best you can say is that if she don't look lovely, at least she looks convincin'. The gnurliest pineknot burns frequent the hottest, an' you can take my word for it, this Abby girl has sperit. Speakin' of her appearance, personal, Missis Rucker who's a fair jedge allows later to Enright that if Abby's a kyard in a faro game, she'd play her to lose.
Carroll did not look at Barker, but Leverage's steady gaze was fixed on the man's crafty face. "I'm going to come clean with you, Mr. Carroll. I'm going to tell you everythin' I know and everythin' I think. I didn't want to do it and I don't want to now. But I'd a heap rather have the job of convincin' you that I ain't mixed up in this murder than I would of makin' a jury believe the same thing.
She comes back after a while, springs a nervous little laugh, and announces that it was only the glass in one of the hotbed frames. "Some stupid person taking a short cut across the grounds, I suppose," says she. Didn't sound very convincin' to me; but Pulsifer had got started on another boyhood anecdote, and he let it pass.

"As good as a thousand feet of film," says I. "Kip must have had some of this fun himself. Here comes a wop for us. There! Great, eh?" I hope I made it convincin'; but, as a matter of fact, I had to force the enthusiasm a bit.
You see, when he'd worked off that buried treasure bunk in New York it had listened sort of convincin'. He'd got away with it, there being nobody qualified to drop the flag on him.

"Circumstantial evidence is sure convincin'." he sighed deeply. "I reckon you knowed all along that I thought a heap of Mary Jane.
I'd like to know just how it was done. Oh, she got it, all right. And it must have been mighty convincin', for when Vee and I drives up to the Ellinses that night after dinner to see if they'd noticed any difference in the cook, or if she'd dropped any encouragin' hints, I nearly got hugged by Mrs. Robert. "Oh, you wonderful young person!" says she. "You did manage it, didn't you?" "Eh?" says I.
Way back to the creation, when we read of God's speakin' to man, the voice come directly down from heaven to their souls. "In the hush of the twilight, when every thing was still and peaceful, and Adam was alone, then he heard God's voice. He didn't have to wait for favorable conditions, or set round a table; for, what is more convincin', I don't believe he had a table to set round.
Are we not the same flesh an' blood?" "Not by a bushel an' a half," said the Deacon, under his breath. "Grandee never was in Kansas." "My! Ain't that elegant, though, abaout the wavin' grass an' the ripplin' brooks?" Tuck whispered in Nip's ear. "The gentleman's real convincin' I think." "I say we are the same flesh an' blood!
