"Keep a lookout, Alderson," the captain ordered, while he unbuttoned my coat. "Tom, you'd better take a look around and size up the damage." "Mott is dead. I found his body in the cabin," I told our chief. "I was afraid of it. With Mott gone and Dugan wounded we were short two men at the beginning of the scrimmage. Eight to fourteen devilish long odds. Easy with that sleeve there.
Pat has acquired such an universal benevolence since Nannie is so fast bound unto him, that even Mike Dugan is welcomed into their little circle with a true cordiality. Mike is not alone, however, when he comes to sit an hour with his old friend, Nannie; but is accompanied by the blushing Helen Dhue whom he calls "my wife."
You're going to get it, though. Gimme that gun, Slim Dugan!" "I want a square deal," he complained. "I figure Phil has been crooking the dice on me." "Bah! Besides, I'll give you a square deal." She held out her hand for the weapon. "Got any doubts about me being square, Slim?" "Kate, leave this to me!" "Why, Slim, I wouldn't let you run loose now for a million.
Such opportunities was seldom, so I spoke my piece, explaining how the Brazilian diamonds and the fire kindler were laying up sufficient treasure to guarantee the happiness of two, and that both of 'em together couldn't equal the light from somebody's eyes, and that the name of Dugan should be changed to Peters, or reasons why not would be in order. "Mame didn't say anything right away.
I've never monkeyed with these here hair tonics, but I'd be willing to take a whirl at them." "Here she comes now. You can ask her." "Did you sleep well?" the young woman asked, after we had exchanged morning greetings. "Clear round the clock and then some more. You must have had a fine night's rest yourself from what I hear. On watch till one, and nursing Dugan from one. Wasn't that about it?"
"Mike," said the mayor, "about thim dongolas, now; have ye thought anny about where ye would be gettin' thim?" "I have not," said Toole. "I was thinkin' 'twould be good t' think it over a bit, Dugan. Mebby 'twould be best t' git thim at Chicagy." He looked anxiously at the mayor's face, hoping for some sign of approval or disapproval, but the mayor's face was noncommittal.
There, he had backed out the car, by hand; shoving it into the open, lest the motor-whirr give premature announcement of his presence. Then, as he boarded the machine and reached for the self-starter, all bedlam broke loose, from somewhere in the general direction of the house, fifty yards away. Dugan, glancing up apprehensively, beheld the first phases of the fight.
She looked entreaty at the men, and they hesitated. "Give me a minute with him," she begged, "just a minute." "He ain't worth it," Dugan sneered, after they had drawn apart. "Look at 'm." "It's a damned shame," corroborated Blackey, squinting sidewise at Frona whispering in St. Vincent's ear, the while her hand wandered caressingly through his hair.
"Well," said Fagan mildly, "I have not had much ixperience in soakin' dongolas, if ye mean that, Dugan. I do not set up t' be an expert dongola soaker. I do not know th' rules t' go by. Some may like thim soaked long an' some may like thim soaked not so long, but if I was to say, I would say thim two dongolas at th' park has been soaked a dang sight too long.
Dimly, she saw a big and black obstacle loom up in her path. It was coming noisily toward her. But she was going too fast and too blindly to swerve. And she met it, headlong; throwing her vast weight forward in an attempt to smash through it. At the same time, Wolf and Bruce left off harrying her flanks and sprang aside. Dugan had reached the garage unseen.
