I mean business!" He slammed the door, and was gone, taking the steps to the street in two bounds. "By cracky!" said Greenleaf. "What do you make of that?"
"O cracky!" exclaimed the delighted Sam. "Then you think it's a good bargain, Gilbert. Was it a long chase? Was he well tried?" "All right, mother. I could sell him for twenty dollars advance even to Joel Ferris," he answered. He then gave a sketch of the afternoon's adventures, to which his mother listened with a keen, steady interest.
"Oh, cracky!" ejaculated Joel, "there must be a hundred dollars in that roll of bills. Wouldn't dad open his eyes if he saw it?"

Katz led the way out upon the same pier at which Clancy and Hill had taken, the glass-bottom boat to view the marine gardens. Well out on the pier, they came to a halt, and swept their eyes over the dark waters of the bay. "By cracky," said Katz, pointing, "the Sylvia ain't got away yet.

And there's a woman and a girl in the cutter! Wow! Look at those chumps up the street shoutin' and wavin' their arms. That's no way to stop a horse! Those women will be killed. Hi, Bud, hop in here.
You could not deny the presence of a little perverse twist even in the noble mind and heart of the great Sir Charles Napier. The great Emperor Napoleon was cracky, if not cracked, on various points.

I said, "Cracky, you can bet I'd like to go on a hike with you." "That's what we will," he said, "and we'll swap adventures." I told him I didn't have any good ones like he had to swap, but anyway, I was glad he got home all right. "All right!" he said, "you mean all wrong.

If I could have a little illumination, I might be able to fix the dynamo, and then we could turn on the incandescents. That portable light we had is broken. "By cracky!" exclaimed Andy.
