A thousand dollars! Wasn't that like a dude? Dudes thought money could do anything, buy anything. Uncle Bill would rather have had a sack of flour just then than all the money Sprudell owned. "Your check's no more good than a bunch of dried leaves. It's endurance that's countin' from now on. We're up against it right, I tell you, with Toy down sick and all." Sprudell stared. "Toy?"
Years of "Duding," however, had given Teeters a confidence in himself and his diplomacy which would seem to be justified, for, as he rightly argued, "A man who can handle dudes can do anything." Now, he knew that if he had come to Mrs. Taylor and bluntly asked the use of her supernatural gifts in Kate's behalf she would have refused him.
The Dudes, therefore, much to their disgust, were kept steadily at work. Other regiments, profiting by example, followed suit; but in others still, a small proportion of their membership, believing as they said, that the "jig was up," took to lawless and unhallowed expression of their disgust and became thereby a nuisance to the neighborhood.
I says to myself, I don't want that shop window Judy round my house, but Evelyn thought he was the best going. Funny thing that that girl was the very one to laugh at dudes before that, but she stuck it out that he was a fine chap. She's game, all right, my girl is. She stays right with the job.
That was a game played only by "dudes"! Passers-by looked with scorn upon young David Windom and his flaxen-haired wife as they played at the silly game before supper every evening.
You haven't been there but once since the place started." "Yes, I have. I've been by a good many times. Didn't stop, though. Too many of them city dudes around to suit me. Did you fetch your October interest money." "No, I didn't. It ain't due till week after next. When it is I'll send it, same as I have the rest." "All right, all right, I ain't askin' you for it. What did you come for?"
"I've thought over this consider'ble," Teeters lowered his voice, "and I figger that the secret of handlin' dudes is to keep 'em busy. I've been around 'em a whole lot, off an' on, over on the Yellastone, and I've noticed that the best way to get anythin' done is to tell 'em not to touch it and then go off and leave 'em.
"You have no outfit." "I've got a job. Behold your nephew, Christopher Smoke Bellew! He's got a job! He's a gentleman's man! He's got a job at a hundred and fifty per month and grub. He's going down to Dawson with a couple of dudes and another gentleman's man camp-cook, boatman, and general all-around hustler. And O'Hara and The Billow can go to the devil. Good-bye."
"What I really mean, Molly, is that you are a friend of white people that is you are not one of those Nigger wenches who want to be er er ladies that want Nigger dudes to raise their hats to them want to be like white people you know." "I understand," said Molly. "We white gentlemen believe in having colored girl friends, and we always stand by them no matter what happens."
They have these hard-nosed dudes called 'pit bosses' that keep an eye on things, head off trouble . . . I usually go on a travel package for a couple of nights. They're a good deal; the casinos subsidize them. I take all the money I feel like blowing off and one credit card in case I get stuck or something. You going?" "I was thinking about it," Oliver said. "I've been learning how to play craps."
