Some of the sore-heads are coming in this evening to demand their wages." "Can we pay them?" "Doc says he dassent; so I s'pose they'll quit. He should have fired 'em a week ago. Never let a man quit always beat him to it. We could hold the rough-necks for another two weeks if it wasn't for these fellows, but they'll go back and start a stampede." "How many are there?" "About a dozen."
This done, he hastened to one of the leading banks, and two hours later returned to the hotel, jubilant. He found Big George in the lobby staring with fascinated eyes at his finger-nails, which were strangely purified and glossy. "Look at 'em!" the fisherman broke out, admiringly. "They're as clean as a hound's tooth. They shine so I dassent take hold of anything."
I reckon he dassent draw on me with you two fellas here. Where 'd he and Cotton go, anyhow?" "I dunno, Pete. They moseyed out without sayin' anything." "Looks like Gary wanted to put Cotton wise." "Well, if anything starts, I'll sure keep my eye on that Cotton hombre," said Andy. "He's easy and slow," stated Pete. "He ain't got a fightin' eye." "Here they come," whispered Andy.

"You dassent leave me you dassent!" "Listen, people are starving in Matanzas; they are sick; they are dying in the streets." "I don't eat much."
"You clumsy child! Don't delay any longer. Whoever it is will think us most inhospitable. Take this one already burning and go to the door at once." "I I dassent!" quavered Alfaretta, retreating toward the kitchen. "You dare not? How ridiculous. Then I will go myself! though when one has a maid one expects her to attend the door. That's a point upon which I am very particular.

Wherefore he was presently asked cautiously concerning his thirst. "They's times," said Casey, hopefully lowering an eyelid, "when a feller dassent take a nip, no matter how thirsty he gits."
Onct when we was fightin' an' hadn't no men to spare, he lef' Buck on guard over about twenty-five Boxer prisoners in a courtyard an' tells him he dassent let one escape.
Suppose he does..." The mutter became momentarily a deep-throated chuckle of malice. "He's in so deep on the booze smuggling side he dassent say a word, and that puts him in worse yet, makes him accessory before the fact of criminal practices that'd made his hair stand on end.
"He dassent," affirmed Judith, junior, of little faith. "It hurths me," and Jimmy tried to squeeze out a tear. "It hurths me, my tore toe!" His mother tipped him over on his fat little back and opened the chubby hand that held the trump toe.
