Hank, was it worth five thousand to double-cross a gent that's your guest a fellow that's busted bread with you, bunked in the same room with you? And even when they've drilled me clean, and you've got the reward, don't you know that you'll be a skunk among real men from this time on? Did you figure on that when you sold me?" The hands of Hank Rainer fell suddenly, but now lower than his beard.
They ain't no games or tricks here, no cheatin' an' no lyin'. Them trees just stand up natural an' strong an' clean like young boys their first time in the ring before they've learned its rottenness an' how to double-cross an' lay down to the bettin' odds an' the fight-fans. Yep; it is brave. Say, Saxon, you see things, don't you?"
Bates stole it; he was going to try to double-cross us and beat it out of here. Now he's dead, and good riddance." He spat into the snow when he had done. Benny, chattering wildly to himself now, began a hasty reloading of his revolver. The man whom he had shot, whom Brodie named Bates, lay not five steps from Benny's feet, his blood already congealing where it flushed the snow.
If Jimmie Carlisle had wished to gratify his cupidity and double-cross his friend, why had he not at the very start placed Maggie in an orphanage where she would have been neither charge nor cost to him, and thus have had the use of every penny of the trust fund? Why had he chosen to keep her by him, and train her carefully to be exactly what her father had most wished her not to be?
"I discovered that Stafford King comes regularly to the theatre, that he takes her to dinner and that he visits the house at Horsham." "Solly never told me that the swine!" rapped the colonel, "he's going to double-cross us, that fellow." "I don't believe it." It was Crewe that spoke. "Swell" Crewe, whose boast it was that he had a suit for every day in the year.
"Warfield, by !" Al blurted in his outraged astonishment. "Trailing me with a bunch, are yuh? I knew you'd double-cross your own father but I never thought you had it in you to do it in the open. Damn yuh, what d'yuh want that you expect to get?" Warfield stared at him, slack-jawed.
Let's plan to sell out here, stock, ranch, property, and leave the country. Then you'd have a show with her." "I told you we've got to stick," growled Wright. "The gang won't stand for our going. It can't be done unless you want to sacrifice everything." "You mean double-cross the men? Go without their knowing? Leave them here to face whatever comes?" "I mean just that."
An' I guess it ain't a word that'll come between Mooney and me not if Mooney gits his thousand." Suddenly he turned upon her, a hand half raised to strike. "An' if you whisper a word to her if y' double-cross me so much as the length of your little finger I'll break every bone in your body, so help me God! You understand? You won't say anything to her?" The woman's uneven shoulders drooped lower.
Could a girl as fine an' square an' high-spirited as you ever double-cross a man, even a scoundrel like Nash? I reckon you could, considerin' the motive.
"Gib," said Captain Scraggs, "was that really your lay to steal the cargo, double-cross the insurrecto junta, and sell out to a furrin' country?" "Of course it was," said Mr. Gibney pettishly. "They all do such things in the banana republics. Why should I be an exception?
