Look at them," she proceeded, directing his attention to the house, "look at them all crowdin' to the door and here's Shibby, too, and Bryan himself an' see my mother ready to lep out of herself wid pure joy the Lord be praised that you're safe back!" At this moment his second daughter ran to him, and a repetition of welcome similar to that which he received from Dora took place.
Buckheath glanced angrily and contemptuously into the stupid, fatuous countenance above him; he appeared to curb with some difficulty the disposition to retort in kind. Instead, he returned, sarcastically: "The fellers around town say you won't keep anything but gals because nothin' but gals would put up with your hectorin' 'em, and crowdin' ten in a room that was intended for four.
Her small boats were in place, but he saw neither life nor movement aboard. She appeared as deserted as a pile of scrap iron. "W'ot are they doin'?" queried Galton. "Nothing." Madden was puzzled over the strange condition of the tug. "Ain't they crowdin' to th' side, sir, lookin' at us and fixin' to come to us?" "Nobody's on her," replied Madden. "At least I don't see anyone." "W'ot! W'ot!
"I reckon I was crowdin' some just on account of tryin' to convince you they's such a thing as hunches." "Never mind, Shorty," Smoke laughed. "I've got a hunch right now " Shorty's eyes sparkled as he cried eagerly: "What is it? Kick in an' play it pronto." "It's not that kind, Shorty.

And pretty soon two streams er water hits the crowd, and you'd oughter have seen the way it bust up.
And so, instead of the Devastation going in search of him, the Spunk went after her, and, as luck would have it, met her just inside of the treaty line. The Spunk pretended to be shying put on the rags as if he was going to try legs with the Devastation. Crowdin' steam like all Jehu, down the Devastation came, as if she were going to smash the Spunk, and blow her to Daniel's dungeon.
