He rolled his cigarette and lit it. "I reckon Steelman's a millionaire now on paper, anyhow. He was about busted when he got busy in oil. He was lucky right off, and he's crooked as a dawg's hind laig don't care how he gets his, so he gets it. He sure trimmed the suckers a-plenty." "He and Crawford are still unfriendly," Dave suggested, the inflection of his voice making the statement a question.
Lookee there, 'is dawg's a-leadin' 'im; wot d'ye think o' that?" But persons in much higher station were no less at times fond of chaff, which I always took good-humouredly. A story of Lord Grimthorpe, who, many years after, had some fun with me at times over my little Jack, will appear in his reminiscences a little farther on.
"An' please goodness, massa, I's gwine to fotch him in two shakes of a houn' dawg's tail," he told me. I threw myself on the grass and waited. Either the servant's powers of "fotching" had been exaggerated, or else the colonel was quite indifferent to my arrival. Nearly an hour passed before my meditations were interrupted.
By dat time yo' git yo' min' settle down an' yo' stummic ready fo' de lunch wha' Sis' Cynthia gwine fix fo' yo'. I seen de perjections ob it an' it fair mak' ma mouf run water lak' a dawg's.

"It is too much to risk on a dog's sagacity now that suspicion is directed toward Miss Nancy." "Den 'spose I meet Missy at de train an' slip de papah in her han'." "Unfortunately she is shadowed wherever she goes.

I believed the whole affair had ended, but Crabtree was crafty, and he caused fresh fear by reminding them: "You folks are fools to let the only witnesses to that dawg's death git away and take word back to the Cherokees.
"Her dog been licking your cat again, or what?" "You're danged right he ain't!" Applehead testified boastfully. "Compadre's got that there dawg's goat, now I'm tellin' yuh!

A small black and white spaniel followed the caleche, yapping. The American's face shone with interest. "That dawg's Michael," he said, "the hotel dawg. He's a queer little dawg. I kicked his face; and he tried to bite me. Hup, Michael!"

Besides, Abe, you got commercial travelers' accident insurance, and I ain't." "The oitermobile ain't coming till half-past one, Mawruss," Abe replied; "between now and then you could get it a hundred policies of accident insurance.
It's a dawg's life, Mawruss, any way you look at it; and maybe, Mawruss, you would have a good time taking buggy rides with lady buyers.
