"I'll allow you wages on the Thompson job' till you've earned enough to balance up with the outfit. After that it'll be fifty-fifty. How'll that be, Bud?" "Fair enough fair enough," Bud retorted with faint mimicry. "If I was all up in the air a few days ago, I seem to have lit on my feet, and that's good enough for me right now. We'll let 'er ride that way."
Jed looked up over his spectacles. "Eh?" he asked. "What's that?" "I say when you have a decision to make and your mind is about fifty-fifty on the subject, how do you decide?" Jed's answer was absently given. "W-e-e-ll," he drawled, "I generally er don't." "But suppose the time comes when you have to, what then?" "Eh? . . . Oh, then, if 'tain't very important I usually leave it to Isaiah."
Now, I want to put up a sporting proposition to you. We'll retire gracefully, if you'll split fifty-fifty." "We!" Bryce repeated. "So there's more than one of you?" "There's lots of us, and we've got the whip hand of you because, you see, you don't know who we are.
"It's about fifty-fifty," his father told him. "However, it won't do any harm to try it. Only don't fall off that watch tower of yours. I'll come out and look at it when you get it done." The boy ranchers and their cow punchers started work the next day. Dick and Nort remembered, in a dim way, how, as Boy Scouts, they had helped erect towers, hastily constructed of saplings.
"That'll take a load off my shoulders." "We'll cut our grub fifty-fifty, then I'll hit you a clout with the traces and turn you a-loose." Jerry was still dazed, for his world had come to an end, but he pretended to an extravagant joy and managed to chirp: "Good news the first I've had since we went pardners. I'll sure kick up my heels. What'll we do with the boat?" "Cut her in two." "Right.
Vaniman found a bit more than mere suggestion in Wagg's manner of invitation. With his shotgun in the hook of his arm he presented his wonted appearance as the guard at the prison. It was perfectly apparent that Mr. Wagg proposed to keep his eye on the promiser of the fifty-fifty split. But Wagg did not refer to the matter of the money while they strolled in the woods.
He he's sized up pretty well the way I live, and and he knows I don't expect too much out of life no more. Just a quiet kind of team-work, he puts it pulling together fifty-fifty, and somebody's hand to hold on to when old fellow Time hits you a whack in the knees from behind. But he ain't old when he talks that way, Kess; he he's beautiful to me." "Does he wear a mask when he makes love?"
Perhaps in only a minimum of cases will the load ever be divided “fifty-fifty.” Too soon would the workers tire of their added burden, too few could carry the added weight. The fact remains that with management carrying the whole load, the march is going very badly indeed on the whole. At times the procession scarcely seems to move.
"I am going to stick your dub of a father for that, as a penance for his sins of omission, Joey; for by the Holy Pink-Toed Prophet, if ever a boy won a bet and was entitled to it, you're that young man. In-fer-nal young scoundrel! Keep it and split fifty-fifty with your wife.
I won’t ask you to make it fifty-fifty. Gimme half what I oughter have. You can fix it with Curley Tim Brady " "Duck, this is no time " "Hell! It’s all the time I’ve got! What do you expec’ out here, a caffy dansong? I don’t see no corner gin-mills around neither. Listen, Doc, quit up-stagin’! You an’ me kick the block off’n this here Kike-Wop if we get together.
