Then catching sight of the boy turning a handspring behind the horse, she called out again: "Now, look here, Cully, none of your skylarkin'. There's the dinner whistle. Unhitch the Big Gray; he's as dry as a bone." The boy loosened the traces and led the horse to water, and Babcock, after a word with the Captain, and an encouraging smile to Tom, turned away.
At the same moment George de Coverly passed me, holding his nose, from whence the bright Norman blood streamed redly. To him the plebeian Smithsye laughingly: "Cully! how's his nibs?" I pushed the door of the school-room open. There are some spectacles which a man never forgets.
Since they're bound due west I reckon we can easily keep on their trail, clear night or dark one. Here's Nat Cully can do that; and if our friend Walt hasn't lost his old skill he can be trusted for the same." The Ranger and ex-Ranger, both standing by, remain modestly silent. "Our plan will be," pursues Haynes, "to approach their camp under cover of night, surround, and so make certain of them.
Then the ragged man spoke again: "I s'pose it was part my fault, cully. I didn't know dat any guy was comin' along on one of dem buzz-machines, or I'd been more careful. I don't s'pose youse meant to upset me?" and he looked at Tom more boldly.
You are, therefore, naturally carried to commit acts of injustice as well as me. Your example both pushes me forward in this way by imitation, and also affords me a new reason for any breach of equity, by shewing me, that I should be the cully of my integrity, if I alone should impose on myself a severe restraint amidst the licentiousness of others.
I'm back here now wit' my life in my hand, but I'd chance it twice over to get square wit' them welshers that have bawled me out!" "Why have you come to me?" asked Blount briefly. "Gawd knows; I took a chance again. I've heard your speeches, and says I, 'There's your wan chance, cully, and I'm here to grab f'r it. If you've been meanin' the half of what you've been sayin', Mr.
In the mean time, I lay fairly exposed to the examination of his eyes and hands, quiet and unresisting; which confirmed him the opinion he proceeded so cavalierly upon, that I was no novice in these matters, since he had taken me out of a common bawdy house, nor had I said one thing to prepossess him of my virginity; and if I had, he would sooner have believed that I took him for a cully that would swallow such an improbability, than that I was still mistress of that darling treasure, that hidden mine, so eagerly sought after by the men, and which they never dig for, but to destroy.
Cully never went to bed without seeing the Gray first made comfortable for the night. The two young fellows saw all the sights, and after filling their pockets with peanuts and themselves with pink lemonade, took their seats at last under the canvas roof, where they waited impatiently for the performance to begin.
He not only hated Cully, but the whole Grogan household, for the pounding he had received at his hands, so he was anxious to get even in some way. After McGaw had locked both doors, shutting out his wife and little Jack, their youngest, he took a bottle from the shelf, filled two half-tumblers, and squaring himself in his chair, said: "Did ye see her, Crimmy?"
But from the mouth of the Pecan Creek is one more direct, leading across a spur of the plateau itself, instead of turning its north-eastern extremity. It was not known to the Rangers, though Cully remembered having heard something about it. But the Mexican renegade declared himself familiar with, and counselled taking it. There had been hesitation before acceding to his counsel.
