O no, don't you misunderstand me Uma's on the square." He spoke eager, I thought, and that surprised and pleased me. "Indeed," he went on, "I shouldn't make so sure of getting her, only she cottoned to the cut of your jib. All you have to do is to keep dark and let me work the mother my own way; and I'll bring the girl round to the captain's for the marriage."
The coastguards told us tales of Southern ports, and of shipwrecks, and officers they had not cottoned to, and messmates that they had, but when we asked them about smuggling they said there wasn't any to speak of nowadays. "I expect they think they oughtn't to talk about such dark crimes before innocent kids like us," said Dicky afterwards, and he grinned as he said it.
'The country is not disturbed. 'So the doctor thinks his patient is doing favourably! And you cottoned to Patrick? And I don't wonder. Where was it? 'We met in Trieste. He was about to start by one of the Austrian boats for the East. 'Not disturbed! no! with a rotten potato inside it paralysing digestion! exclaimed Con. 'Now Patrick had been having a peep at Vienna, hadn't he?
"And I'm jolly glad we don't. It makes it all easier. I know very little about girls I dance with them and things like that when I have to, but as a class I never cottoned to them much, nor they to me. I know the ugly names tacked to things that might be innocent and happy enough. Now your business it could be a cover for something rather different ?" "But it isn't!" Joan broke in, hotly.
"What division are you from?" "Hell, I came to warn you this bastard frawg's got soused an' has been blabbin' in the gin mill there how he was an anarchist an' all that, an' how he had an American deserter who was an anarchist an' all that, an' I said to myself: 'That guy'll git nabbed if he ain't careful, so I cottoned up to the old frawg an' said I'd go with him to see the camarade, an' I think we'd better both of us make tracks out o' this burg."
"I wonder he didn't," said Pinckney. "He spoke of you a good deal to me, spoke of you as his best friend; all the same he seemed set on the idea of us taking care of the girl. He fell in love with Charleston and he cottoned to us; then, of course, there were the family reasons. Phyl's mother was a Mascarene; my mother was her mother's first cousin.
I reckon you've a springboard and a buckskin in the barn over there?" "Maybe." "The officers are looking for that buckskin in every little burg between Santa Cruz and San Diego. You can't pack your grub and blankets a-foot. I can supply everything. Nobody'll suspect me." "Why not?" "Because because o' my record." "Oh. It's a clean one, is it?" "It is that." "Sadie cottoned to you right away.
'The country is not disturbed. 'So the doctor thinks his patient is doing favourably! And you cottoned to Patrick? And I don't wonder. Where was it? 'We met in Trieste.

I ain't going to whine about the luck, but I stole I stole for her. I wanted to give her what she'd always had from me: a pretty home, nice clothes, a good time. And what's the result?" He laughed hoarsely. "This, this hut, those overalls, beans and bacon to eat, and now now the knowledge that her dad is a thief. Well, she's cottoned to you. I read it in her face.
They're sure devourin' lions an' roarin' hyenas when they get on the trail of a man they've cottoned to." Again the monologue languished. Smoke cuffed the dog when it attempted to snap his hand, and went on examining its bruised and bleeding pads. "Huh!" pursued Shorty. "Mebbe I couldn't 'a' married if I'd a mind to!
