Spread the news. Rustle up everybody you can get. Arrange with the railroad grade contractor to let us have all his men, teams, and scrapers till we get her hogtied and harnessed. Big wages and we'll feed the whole outfit free. Hire anybody you can find. Buy a coupla hundred shovels and send 'em out to Number Three. Get Robinson to move his tent-restaurant out there." Hart nodded.
"I think he's right," Gray said, quietly. "Why, he's sent to Fort Worth for a piano, already, and for a lady to come out for a coupla days and show me how to play it!" There was another black hiatus in the conversation. "We haven't got a spare room, but I'm quick at learnin' tunes. She could bunk in with me for a night or two."
Each week, in rotation, four Boosters were privileged to obtain the pleasures of generosity and of publicity by donating goods or services to four fellow-members, chosen by lot. There was laughter, this week, when it was announced that one of the contributors was Barnabas Joy, the undertaker. Everybody whispered, "I can think of a coupla good guys to be buried if his donation is a free funeral!"
This got me a coupla more vaudeville offers and a chance as an ingenue in a regular show. I took it and here I am, Omar." When she finished they sat for a moment in silence she draping the last skeins of a Welsh rabbit on her fork and waiting for him to speak. "Let's get out of here," he said suddenly.

Archie recognized Perky, industriously taking soundings and lazily giving orders to the man at the wheel. "How much does she show?" called the Governor. "A coupla clothes lines deep," replied Perky without taking the pipe from his mouth.
Give him a pal and a coupla lively girls, say from the Ladies' Tailor-Made Department, good-lookers and real dressers; that was his idea of a dinner, though he'd never tried it at Sherry's. Not that he couldn't if he felt like it. How much did they stick you for a good feed-out with a cocktail and maybe a bottle of Italian Red? Well, of course, that depended on which way was Wickert going?
Th’ Old Man an’ his posse somewheres up ahead, an’ Shannon an’ that side-kick of his, an’ Kitchell maybe, as well as th’ Yankees hotfootin’ it behind you—or so you hope. Lordy, this’s gonna be th’ Battle of Nashville over again’ do they all meet up! All we need is a coupla bull pups up on one of them ridges an’ we could blow ’em all to hell-an’-gone! Jus’ which bunch is goin’ to claim us first?"
Just for that I'll keep these pies, I'll keep 'em and eat 'em no matter how big a pain I get, and let this be a lesson to you. Hey, Racey, Jimmie gimme a coupla pies! C'mon out and we'll eat 'em where Jimmie can watch us." "If I catch you " began the angry Jimmie. "But you ain't gonna catch me," tantalized the Kid. "C'mon, Racey, hurry up." Racey came slowly and with dignity. The Kid stared.
