I had one deal with you, and that's enough. No doubt you remember selling me the brown horse." "You tried the horse before you bought him." "I did. He was quiet then, but I've since suspected that he was doped. Anyhow, he nearly killed my hired man." Wilkinson laughed. "You had your trial and backed your judgment. Know more about machines than horses, don't you?"
We win a purse though in every town 'n' this just about pays expenses. We ain't makin' nothin' much, but we ain't losin' nothin' neither. We're eatin' regular 'n' enjoyin' ourselves, except Butsy. He wouldn't enjoy hisself at a dog fight. "This Butsy Trimble is a thin solemn gink 'n' he almost never cracks a smile. He's got it doped out that everybody's agin him.
With head reeling dizzily, I crept through the opening, yet held the latch, fascinated by the first spoken words within. "Well, Broussard, what is it?" "All seen to, sir." "The bodies are planted then?" "The men attended to that." "And the woman?" "On her way; there was no trouble. Sallie had her doped, sir." "I expected she would.
We 'most had a runaway till I doped it out." Now this was a plain perversion of fact, for it was Tom who had made the discovery. Mr. Linton was about to so state the matter when he reflected that doubtless Jerry's intentions were honest and that his failing memory was to blame for the misstatement.
"So, you've sobered up, have you?" he said. "Got the whisky out o' you?" "Wasn't whisky, Sir," answered Rogers, recognizing an officer. "I was doped and shanghaied, even though willing to ship. I'm an able seaman, Sir." "You don't look it." "Fifteen years at sea, Sir, though the last ten ashore. I'm a bit tender; but I know my work." "How about the other two? Are they sailors?"
Me for the rollin' deep whenever you get this thing doped out." "It looks like we had work cut out for us here," Ned replied. "Now, Captain," he went on, "it looks as if the late arrivals last night drugged the servants and took the secret service men away by main force." "Main force!" roared the Captain. "Why didn't they shoot, or yell, or make some sort of a row that would have brought help?
You have the hardest run of luck in drawing cards that I ever saw. They doped me up with the usual words of praise and, after I had put a cup of coffee or two under my belt, I went at it again, making up my mind that I could stand to lose another ten. I figured out that I could make a team trip and 'break a wheel' to even up on expenses. "Well, you know what that means.
I'll tell them two o'clock to-night and tell them that, with the guards doped, I'll unlock their cells and give them their automatics. If, at two o'clock to-night, you don't catch the forty I shall name with their clothes on and wide awake, then, Captain, you can give me solitary for the rest of my sentence.
Such as here last Wednesday when Mr. Robert had two committee meetin's on for the afternoon and was goin' over with me some tabulated stuff I'd doped out for the annual report. Right in the midst of that Wadley Fiske blows in and proceeds to hammer Mr. Robert on the back. "I say, Bob," says he, "you remember my telling you about the lovely Marcelle Jedain? I'm sure I told you."
We had a good man in Fosgill at the shot put, but that's about all. Along in May we had it doped out that if we could get first in the shot put we could win out by a point or two. But there wasn't anything certain about it, for our opponent was strong on second, near-"second," and third-place men. Patsy appeared with the first warm day, looking thinner and littler and older than ever.
