"There's diff'rent sorts o' nights, mate," said the sailor, "an' the knight Button-Bright means ain't the same night you mean. Soldiers used to be called knights, but that were in the dark ages, I guess, an' likely 'nough Butt'n-Bright's great-gran'ther were that sort of a knight." "But he said an Arabian Knight," persisted Trot.
Billings. Then he stopped a minute, 'n' went on in a little diff'rent tone, 'You needn't concern yourself any further about me and my troubles' 'n' that had very much the sound of 'I'll make kindling-wood of you if you do! Then he looks at his watch. 'I've given you all the time I can spare, says he; and with that he swings around 'n' begins looking over some papers on his desk.
Think he mistook th' False Ridge drop. Ain't no man could make it up again without th' hammer spike an' rope." "H'm don't know. Don't know," mused Courtrey. "I've always thought it could be done. There ought to be a way on th' other side, seems like." "Well, ought an' is is two diff'rent things, Buck," grinned Bullard. "Sure," nodded the king, "sure. An' yet " "Hello, Buck."
I used to lay quiet in my good feather bed, fingering the pattern of my best crochet quilt, and looking at the fire-light shining on Lovey and the baby. She 'd hardly leave him in the cradle a minute. When I did n't want him in bed with me, she 'd have him in her lap. Babies are common enough to most folks, but Lovey was diff'rent.
Bangs was not especially interested in the Hallett family, but he found Primmie amusing. "Uh-hm. All the child he's got. Some diff'rent from our tribe; there was thirteen young ones in our family. Pa used to say he didn't care long's we didn't get so thick he'd step on ary one of us. He didn't care about a good many things, Pa didn't. Ma had to do the carin' and most of the work, too.
I am very fond of good tobacco, and " "I understand," said David, "an' if I had my life to live over agin, knowin' what I do now, I'd do diff'rent in a number o' ways. I often think," he proceeded, as he took a pull at the cigar and emitted the smoke with a chewing movement of his mouth, "of what Andy Brown used to say. Andy was a curious kind of a customer 't I used to know up to Syrchester.
Wegg were a sea-cap'n, ye see, an' when he retired he Wanted to git as far from the sea's he could." "That was strange. A sailor usually loves to be near salt water all his days," observed Uncle John. "Wall, Wegg he were diff'rent. He come here when I were a boy, bringin' a sad-faced young woman an' Ol' Hucks an' Nora. I s'pose Hucks were a sailor, too, though he never says nuthin' 'bout that.
He'd got mighty int'rested in buildin' that road across the desert, and had dreamed some rosy dreams about it. But his men felt diff'rent. They wanted action on the cashier's part, or they'd quit. Hammond begged 'em to stay. He even blew in his own bank account settlin' part of the back wages. But inside of three days his crew had dwindled to a Chinese cook and a Greaser mule driver.
"Young Rube's gettin' quite a professional hand at cookin'," said Kiddie, measuring out pinches of tea. "You'll hear of him one o' these days takin' on the job of chef in some high-class New York hotel. He's got twenty-one diff'rent ways of cookin' eggs, an' as many of potatoes. You didn't happen ter bring along any eggs or potatoes, did you, Isa?
She's discreet and spiritually minded; her life in the world, even with the influence of her dissipated husband, has n't really stained, only humbled her; she would make such a Shaker, if she was once 'convinced, as we have n't gathered in for years and years; but I fear she's slipping, slipping away, Daniel!" "What makes you feel so now, particularly?" "She's diff'rent as time goes on.
