"I bet you! There's only one Shavin's in Orham." Jed sighed. "There's consider'ble many squealers," he drawled; "some in sties and some runnin' loose." Major Grover, who had appeared to enjoy this dialogue, interrupted it now. "That would seem to settle the spy question," he said. "You may go, all three of you," he added, turning to the carpenters.
But when the car had gone a little way along the road, the girl of the Red Mill exclaimed: "Dear me! I fear that man will make trouble. I I wish Tom were here." "Don't say a word!" gasped Helen. "But not only because he could handle this Western bully do I wish Tommy-boy was home and the war was over." "Why don't you offer Dakota Joe a job in your picture company, too?" drawled Jennie Stone.
I've had my divorce ten years, and my boy is seventeen years old. How old is Ann?" "I don't believe it," he flashed back. "You're not a day over twenty- six anyway, you don't look it. "Thanks," drawled Emma. "That's because you've never seen me in negligee. A woman's as old as she looks with her hair on the dresser and bed only a few minutes away.
We older folk may even venture into the Giant's pantry now and then. But we think it best to take you children out of danger." "It might be worse," remarked Limpy-toes. "I shall love to have Cousin Dot with us," smiled Silver Ears. "And Wink and Wiggle," added the twins. "Prob'ly Granny will make us some ginger cookies," drawled Buster. "But oh, Mammy, what hard work it will be to move!"
"I'll play you at anything you like to put a name to, boys, if this game don't suit you, but you'll have to give me the chance of making my hotel bill. In my country I've seen folks livelier at a funeral." The glasses were handed around, but when the gambler reached out towards the silver at his side, a big, bronze-skinned rancher stopped him. "No," he drawled.
And only his nose retained its color. "What d'ye mean?" he whispered with a hoarse oath. "Spit it out, or, by Christmas, I'll drill you!" "Whort price thet brikewater?" drawled Raffles coolly. "Eh?" Rosenthall's revolvers were describing widening orbits. "Whort price thet brikewater old I.D.B.?"
Such a character from such a man raised Vivian even more in the estimation of the Reisenburg world than his flattering reception by the Grand Duke and his cordial greeting by Madame Carolina. "Shall you be at the Grand Marshal's to-night?" asked Vivian. "Ah! that is the new man, the man who was mediatised, is not it?" "The Prince of Little Lilliput." "Yes!" drawled out Mr. von Aslingen.
I'll blow yore legs in two!" Kid Wolf had been pulled from his horse by the others, and the faithful snow-white animal had been taken along up the pass with the two prisoners. There seemed no way of escape. Blacksnake had him, and the gang leader grinned confidently. "Yo're a bully, sah," drawled the Texan. It was as if he were deliberately trying to get his enemy aroused to white-hot fury.
For a moment he looked in doubt at the only apology for a wash-rag the shanty afforded. "Wal, it's an awful dirty cloth that you can't put a little more blackness on, I reckon," he drawled, and dipping it into the water he rubbed it vigorously across the gasping little fellow's face. Then, indeed, the man was astounded. A wide streak, white as milk, had appeared on the baby countenance.
And his answer defensively drawled out: "Halo! How are you, Diana?" "Oh, awfully fit. Where are you, nowadays? Why don't you come and see us?" Again the drawl: "Down in the country. I will, some time. Good-bye."
