"He's not so much of a skunk, for a Dutchman. Took up for his animile plum quick, didn't he? I like to see a man like his hoss, even if it is a mule. The dad-blamed little Limburger he went for me, didn't he! Whoa, now, muley I ain't a-goin' to hurt your mouth agin any more."
The conversation soon lifted itself out of the apparent confusion, and became comparatively distinct. The voices were those of Teague and Sis. "Come now, pap, you must promise." "Why, Sis, how kin I?" "You shall, you shall, you shall!" "Why, Sis, hon, he mought be a spy. Sid Pannalee he 'lows that the whole dad-blamed business is a put-up job.
Why, right this minute there's a newspaper writer down to the village he's from New York and he's been stayin' to the Tavern ever since he come in this morning and asked for a room with a bath and he's goin' to write up the town. Yes sir-e-e the whole dad-blamed town!
Hastings stopped him with a whisper: "That's exactly what he'll do soon!" He led the sheriff into the hall. They went into the parlour. "Now," Hastings began, in genial tone; "did you get anything from him?" "Not a dad-blamed thing!" Crown was still blustery. "But he'll talk before I'm through! You can put your little bets down on that!" "All right. You've had your chance at him.

"You know dad-blamed well it isn't a question of health or politics. It's the fact that in my old age I find myself totally surrounded by the choicest aggregation of mental duds since Ajax defied the lightning." "Meaning whom?" "You and Skinner." "Why, what have we done?"
And at one end of the dance room, Chow had rigged up a model of a Western chuck wagon. "Real atmosphere!" Tom said admiringly. "Chow, you've done us proud!" "Thanks, boss." The cook, who had asked especially to take charge of the decorations, glowed at the praise. Then he became serious. "But what's keepin' that dad-blamed fiddler?"
What I did was this: I cut down the amount of food I ate sixty per cent and I cut out alcohol altogether! I carried out my argument to its logical conclusion so far as it concerned myself. I didn't give a hoot whether it would help or hurt or concern any other person in the world. It was my body I was experimenting on, and I did what I dad-blamed pleased and asked no advice nor took any.
But Teague was absorbed in some information which Squire Pleasants was giving him. "He don't favour the gang," the squire was saying with emphasis, "an' I'll be boun' he ain't much mixed up wi' 'em. He's another cut. Oh, they ain't a-foolin' me this season of the year," he continued, as Teague Poteet shook his head doubtfully; "he ain't mustered out'n my mind yit, not by a dad-blamed sight.
Don't I remember! Why, you dad-blamed old long-horned turtle-dove, the boys in camp was all cognoscious about them hiroglyphs. The 'gizzard-and-crossbones' we used to call it. We used to see 'em on truck that was sent out from the ranch. They was marked in charcoal on the sacks of flour and in lead-pencil on the newspapers.
