Recovering themselves, Penrod and Sam underwent the customary human reaction from alarm to indignation. "What you want, you ole horse, you?" Penrod shouted. "Don't you come coughin' around me!" And Sam, seizing a stick, hurled it at the intruder. "Get out o' here!" he roared.

"Martha there's somethin' wrong with my lung. That's why they thrown me down. They had their doctor from the main office examine me they'd noticed me coughin' and he said I'd a spot on my lung or something. I shouldn't stay here in the city, he said.

Dixon ran over in his mind many contorted ways of breaking the news to Allis, and finished up by blurting out: "The mare's coughin' this mornin', Miss; I hope it ain't nothin', but I'm afraid she's in for a sick spell."

"For cat's sake quit that coughin'. Let a feller sleep," came a voice from the other side of the tent. "Go an' get a room in a hotel if you don't like it." "That's it, Bill, tell him where to get off." "If you fellers don't quit yellin', I'll put the whole blame lot of you on K. P.," came the sergeant's good-natured voice. "Don't you know that taps has blown?"
"I would have asked, only most of de people laughs at me and tells me to clear out, and they think I'm lyin' when I say dad's sick, and say they guess he must drink de money up, which is a lie itself, 'cause dad don't drink a drop; he's got pneumony, so de doctor says, and he's coughin' all de time." "Is your mother home?" "Ain't got no mother; she died when I was a kid."
Can't ye fancy ould Barber Brady wid a bullet in his lungs, coughin' like a sick monkey, an' sayin', "Bhoys, I do not mind your gettin' dhrunk, but you must hould your liquor like men. The man that shot me is dhrunk. I'll suspend investigations for six hours, while I get this bullet cut out, an' then "
