When we overtook him about eighty rods further on, he was sitting in the woods beside the road, picking the chickens he had stolen from the farmer. The Lieutenant called to him and said, sternly: "I thought I told you not to plunder while on the march." "Well," said he, with a comical drawl, "I don't allow no doggone chicken to come out and bite at me."
He was astonished to feel a choky sensation in his throat and a stinging of eyelids, and a leap in his blood. To be thus taken possession of by a blunt-speaking stranger not at all in his class; to be addressed as "Bud," and informed that he once devoured dried prunes; to be told "Doggone your measly hide" should have affronted him much.
He made no comment. "I don't want father to know this," Bonbright said. "If it can be kept out of the papers.... Father wouldn't understand. He'd feel I had disgraced the family." "Doggone the family," snapped Lightener. "Come on." Bonbright followed him out. "May I take him along, Lieutenant? I'll fix it with the judge if necessary.... And say, happen to recognize him?" "Never saw him before."
"And that," said Uncle Lige Potter, voicing the unanimous opinion, of the countryside, "is a doggone funny thing and plumb unnatural, considerin' the kind of woman she is."
If you can fly very high, and when you near the line just glide as quietly as possible, I think it can be managed without our being seen. And since it is only just daylight now, it should not be late when we arrive." "It should not," Johnny agreed. "Arriving late ain't what worries a flyer it's arriving too doggone unexpected. Where do we light, in Mexico? Just any old place?"
The voice of the Indian, calling to Marc, mingled with the ringing of iron-shod hoofs on the stones. Jones surveyed the small level spot in the shade of the cedars. He gazed from the lions to us, his stern face relaxed, and his dry laugh cracked. "Doggone me, if you didn't do it!"
"You're a young cyclone, but you can't get a chance to muss Dud Hollister up to-night. You work too rapid. Doggone my hide, if I ever did see a faster or a better piece o' work. How about it, Tom?" Reeves, too, pounded Dillon in token of friendship. If Bob had not wiped the slate clean he had made a start in that direction. "You're some scrapper when you get started.
I was glad we didn't have any liquor there, or like as not we'd 'a' burned the hotel down just for a lark. We was so full of that doggone Monte Cristo book that we believed our own lies as easy as Artie did, an' begun to talk to each other like we was society folks at a banquet. But Artie was a good, decent sort of a chap, as common as we were, when we got to know him.
Lydia had heard it a dozen times in rehearsal but now not a word Kent said was intelligible to her. She was seeing him in a red bathing suit as he hung Florence Dombey from a yard arm of the willow. She was hearing him as he knelt in the snow with an arm about her shoulders, "I'm so doggone sorry for you, Lydia." What a dear he had been! Now it all was different. They were grown up.
"Thanks. I ain't a-missin' a chanct to eat. And I reckon ole Rowdy there could do somethin' in that line hisself." Bailey smiled. "Turn your horse into the corral. Better pack your saddle over here. That pup will chew them new latigos if he gets near it." "That doggone pup come mighty nigh bustin' me," and Pete smiled for the first time since arriving. "But the pup was havin' a good time, anyhow."
