"Oh, hell! What have I said that was outa the way? I wasn't cussing; I was telling you what your father and mother ought to tell you, and what they would if they didn't think more of a few dollars than they do of their kid's health. But I don't reckon it's my put-in; only it's any man's business to see that women and kids don't freeze to death. And by the humpin' hyenas "
'An old chap like that ought to leave young women alone, damn him! The clerk came nearer. 'I am afraid I cannot allow bad words to be spoke in this sacred pile, he said. 'As far as my personal self goes, I should have no objection to your cussing as much as you like, but as a official of the church my conscience won't allow it to be done.
"Cussing" and "cursing" are quite different things, insists the author. He would never have cursed any one, he protests; but a man is always justified in cussing when a proper case for it is presented. G.v.d.M. "It is murder," said he, and backed off. I felt warmed toward him for wanting to kiss me, though I should have knocked him down if he had.
They cussed Jim considerble, though, and give him a cuff or two side the head once in a while, but Jim never said nothing, and he never let on to know me, and they took him to the same cabin, and put his own clothes on him, and chained him again, and not to no bed-leg this time, but to a big staple drove into the bottom log, and chained his hands, too, and both legs, and said he warn't to have nothing but bread and water to eat after this till his owner come, or he was sold at auction because he didn't come in a certain length of time, and filled up our hole, and said a couple of farmers with guns must stand watch around about the cabin every night, and a bulldog tied to the door in the daytime; and about this time they was through with the job and was tapering off with a kind of generl good-bye cussing, and then the old doctor comes and takes a look, and says: "Don't be no rougher on him than you're obleeged to, because he ain't a bad nigger.
Farrell somewhat lost his customary air of sustained calm. Cursing softly under his breath, he settled on the spot with a cash compromise; and then calling the offender to his presence, he used strong and bitter words. "Look here, boy," he proclaimed, "I've let you off this time with a cussing, but next time anything happens to a car that you are driving you've got to come clean with me.
Pretty soon the gang that Mrs. Cartwright has rounded up at the prayer-meeting comes stringing along in. They had all brung their hymn books with them, and they sung. The hull town was there then, and they all sung, and they sung revival hymns over Hank. And Hank he would jest cuss and cuss. Every time he busted out into another cussing spell they would start another hymn.
Can you blame us for being sore?" "On Lost Island?" asked Jerry eagerly. "No, off Lost Island. A big burly ruffian blew down on us, cussing a streak, and wouldn't hardly let us get into our boat. Chucked stones at us all the way across and promised us a mess of birdshot if we came back. Do you blame us for wanting to lay you out?" It was Dave's conqueror who spoke.
And I'd like to hear a little more cussing. How the Hussars used to cuss! Too much reading and writing nowadays. It makes men too ladylike." By this time he had once more attracted the captain's attention. "Grandfather Fragini, you must drop back you must! If you don't, I'll have you carried back!" called Dellarme, sparing the old man only a glance from his concentrated observation on the front.
"No because they can take it out in cussing!" wailed the Kid. "I wouldn't cry either, if you'd let me swear all I want to!" Chip turned his back precipitately and his shoulders were seen to shake. The Little Doctor looked shocked. "I want Silver for my string!" cried the Kid, artfully transferring his appeal to the higher court.
Lincoln was defending an occasional and judicious use of swear words. "Judge," said he, "you do an almighty lot of cussing in your speeches, and perhaps it ain't a bad way to keep things stirred up." "Well," said the Judge, "a fellow will rip out something once in a while before he has time to shut it off." Mr. Lincoln passed his fingers through his tousled hair.
