Grab f'r this knife I'm handin' you and cut the heart out o' these welshin' bosses that are givin' you th' double-cross the same as they're givin' it to me. You're the on'y man that can do it; the on'y man on Gawd's green earth they're afraid of. I know it damn' well. That's why they handed my number to th' chief and passed th' word to have me pinched.
'Honour among thieves! replied Sam, with unruffled geniality. 'I wouldn't double-cross you for worlds. If, however, you think you can manage without my assistance, it will then be my melancholy duty to beat you to the kid, and collect him and the money entirely on my own account. Am I to take it, he said, as I was silent, 'that you prefer war to an alliance?
I hated to lie black thet way. But he's a hard man with bad intentions toward Jennie, an' I'd double-cross him any day. "Then we went into the house. Jennie had gone to her little room, an' Bland called her to come out. She said she was undressin'. An' he ordered her to put her clothes back on. Then, Buck, his next move was some surprisin'. He deliberately thronged a gun on Kate.
"Sullivan will double-cross you in the end, Jack; he'll not even give you Mary," Reid said, speaking lazily, neither derision nor banter in his way. "Maybe," Mackenzie returned indifferently. "He'd double-cross me after I'd put in three years runnin' his damned sheep if it wasn't for the old man's money.
"If old Scraggsy's crazy he's crazy like a fox. What's rilin' him is the knowledge that he's stung to the heart an' can't admit it without at the same time admittin' he'd cooked up a deal to double-cross us. He's just a-bustin' with the thoughts that's accumulatin' inside him. Right now he'd drown his sorrers in red liquor if he could afford it." "He's troubled financially, Gib."
He was superstitious enough to believe in the alleged vision of Jinendra's priest, that the clue to the treasure of Sialpore would be found in the cellar of that house, where Jengal Singh had placed it; impious enough to double-cross the priest, and to use any means whatever, foul preferred, to get possession of the clue.
"If you show us where we can get a cargo of black coral and work hard and faithful helpin' us to get it aboard, it may help you to comb a few gray hairs. I'm goin' to take the irons off now, but remember! At the first sign of the double-cross you're both shark meat." On behalf of himself and the king, Tabu-Tabu promised to behave, and McGuffey kicked them both into the small boat.
This is clever, clever. Think of it fifteen hundred dollars of easy money like that! I wonder how much of it sticks to Ike's hands on the way up. He must have a capacious fob pocket for that. Say, he's a regular fellow with the ladies, Ike is. Only this one doesn't seem to resent it. By George, I wonder if this fellow Ike isn't giving the police or the politicians the double-cross.
Red tinged his cheek and a flame flared in his eyes. "Wils, you done me dirt," he said, wrathfully. "An' I always swore by you.... Make a clean breast of the whole damn bizness, if you want me to treat you white. You must have been locoed or drunk, to double-cross me thet way. Come on, out with it." "I've nothing to say," replied Moore.
Judith tossed her head and rushed out of the room. The men laughed hugely as she banged the door. Only Douglas remained sober. "Well," said John, "I suppose you'll be home in a day or two, Doug." "If Charleton can find some one I will be." "I'll give him half time," volunteered Scott. "Nothing doing!" replied Charleton. "Nobody gets a second chance to double-cross me!"
