This deal's liable to turn a split for me in my domestic affairs. An' that's the way we-alls feels. This stage agent is shorely in disrepoot some in Wolfville. If he'd been shakin' up Red Dog's letter-bags, we wouldn't have minded so much.
"I suspect a good deal's going on here behind the scenes," said Bobbie, dropping his voice. "That man Barton may be a fool to talk, but he's a great power in the House with the other Labor men. And McEwart has been hand and glove with Marsham all this Session. They're trying to force Ferrier's hand. Some Bill the Labor men want and Ferrier won't hear of.
Then when her father had repeated himself, she asked with even greater intensity: "Wha'd he say to that? He didn't take it, did he?" "He laughed kinda queer an' says all I got to do to give him a good night's rest is to wire Henry Nelson the deal's closed. An' him with less 'n a hundred dollars!" Allie spoke again in great relief. "Lord! You give me a turn."
Selah paused, nodded to a young girl, and murmured, "Close the door, Mary," very much in the same preoccupied tone she might have used if she had said, "Mary, shoo the chickens out!" It was a splendid triumph for Selah. The next moment a roar of laughter went up in the street beyond the closed door. A red spot flamed upon Molly Deal's cheeks, but her fan went on swinging gently to and fro.
"As I was saying, the old deal's finished. Now it's MY deal, and I'm a-going to see if I can hold them four aces "Take your hand away, you whited sepulchre!" he cried sharply. Nathaniel Letton's hand, creeping toward the push-button on the desk, was abruptly arrested. "Change chairs," Daylight commanded. "Take that chair over there, you gangrene-livered skunk. Jump!
"You mean the purchase money for Waroona Downs, Mr. Dudgeon?" Eustace replied suavely. "You are rather early, are you not?" "I gave you notice three days ago. You'll pay over or the deal's off. Which is it?" Harding, the assistant, passed a document to Eustace. "These are the terms of the sale, Mr. Dudgeon," Eustace said in the same smooth tone.
"Hello, Tave," he cried, extending his hand in easy condescension, "you're well come, for you're just in time to hear the latest; the deal's on an A. 1 sure thing this time. Aurora showed me the papers to-day. We're in for it now government contracts, state houses, battle monuments, graveyards; we've got 'em all, and things'll begin to hum in this backwater hole, you bet!"
They sank back into their chairs. "It's simple," said Mason fearfully. "Loring wants to steal a spaceship." "A pirate job!" said Shinny. He drew in his breath sharply. "You must be outta your mind!" "You've called yourself in on this," Loring reminded him. "And you're staying in." "Oh, no!" Shinny's voice dropped to a husky, frightened whisper. "Deal's off.
Make him swear to it and the deal's on." The Honorable Milton handed a small bible across the desk as he spoke. "If that's the situation, I guess it's safe to go ahead." "You son-of-a-gun!" cried Ferguson, when Nickleby had duly taken his oath. "I don't mind admitting that when I first heard your proposition I thought it was impossible to get away with it.
Her horse had been walking along the moist, fragrant road; a few moments later she passed the last cavalry picket, and at the same moment she caught sight of John Deal's farm. The house was neat and white and small; orchards stretched in every direction; a few beehives stood under the fruit trees near a well.
