I fell into luck here. It was customary, when we were marching on some unsuspecting village, to send the quartermaster sergeants ahead on bicycles to locate billets. We had an old granny named Cypress, better known as Lizzie. The other sergeants were accustomed to flim-flam Lizzie to a finish on the selection of billets, with the result that C company usually slept in pigpens of stables.
"Boys," continued Jasperson; "I'm a-goin' to tell ye something; because well, because I feel like it. I've never had no best girl!" "Jasperson," said Ajax, "I can't believe that. What! you, a young and " "I ain't young," interrupted the man of independent means. "I'm nigh on to thirty-six. Don't flim-flam me, boys.
"Nobody knows that any better than I. He lied to me and tried to flim-flam me out of my boats before my dad was buried a week. If I'd fallen for it he would have had me right where he's got you, Joe. But I didn't. And when he found out I was going to stick to you boys, he called me a fool and said no white man could compete against Mascola's men."
Now Gaydon should have slept in this room. Gaydon's a great man. Gaydon has a great deal of observation and common sense, and was never plagued with a flim-flam of fancies. To be sure, I need Gaydon, but since I have not Gaydon, I'll light a candle." With that Wogan got out of bed.
Tom, fascinated by the old man's sagacity and vehemence, only shook his head. "Ah, you are not so clevaire to suspect! Ziss is Amerique! Nevaire will she suspect." Tom did not altogether like this reference to Uncle Sam's gullibility, but he contented himself with believing that it was meant as a thing of the past. "They can't flim-flam us now," Archer ventured.

But fully a thousand persons have come into the show, and we're short five hundred dollars in our cash." "You don't tell me!" cried Joe. He saw that Mr. Moyne was very much in earnest. "Have the ticket men and the entrance attendants been working a flim-flam game on us?" "Oh, no, it isn't that," said the treasurer. "I could understand that.
Jane slept. It's a very large order, Jane, but you're the merchant. How on earth do you expect to obtain permission to stay at Lenox without giving the whole thing away?" "I haven't an idea, but depend on old friend Circumstances to bob something up. It is wonderful how very simple it is to flim-flam a philosopher. They never seem to suspect intrigue and walk right into the trap.
What's the use of buying tinsel and flim-flam when you're eating milk gravy to save butter and using salt sacks for handkerchiefs? I ain't educated up to see it." Mis' Jane Moran, who had changed her chair three times to avoid a draught, sat down carefully in her fourth chair, her face twitching a little as if its muscles were connected with her joints.
"Yes," he said, "how'd it get out there? Well, no matter that's all right, Mr. Russell!" "No it ain't!" blurted out Meacham making a grab for the paper; but the chairman struck away his hand. "You keep out of this!" he said. "What d'ye think you're trying to do? You keep out or I'll put you out!" "It's a flim-flam!" raged Meacham, "you're trying to job me. He never made no entry."
