We may add that the breaking of the sixth commandment in no wise affected Smoky. Jake Farge had been warned that he would be shot on sight if he made "trouble." Everybody in San Lorenzo County was well aware that it was no kind of use "foolin'" with Pap Ransom. Jake in a word deserved what he had got. Smoky would have drawn as true a bead upon a squatter disputing title to his land.
Jule Jeffcourt says that when you got religion at Louisville during the revival, you felt you had a call to write and save sinners, and you did that as your trial and probation, but that since you backslided and are worldly again, and go to parties, you just keep it up for foolin' and flirtin'! SHE ain't goin' to weaken on the man that shot her brother, just because he's got a gold mine and a mustache!"
Miss Ann air always been a havin' the gues' chamber an' I'm a gonter 'stablish her thar now. Miss Milly done got mixed up, Sis Em'ly," and the old man changed his indignant tone to a wheedling one. "Sholy yo' Miss Milly wa' jes' a foolin' an' seein' as th'ain't nobody in the gues' chamber we'll jes' put my Miss Ann thar."
I used to git right put out with Doc sometimes, foolin' away good time that way, sittin' round by the hour spoilin' good paper. I reckon he started close onto a thousand poems, but he didn't git along very good. 'Bout the their line he'd stop and tear up what he'd wrote.
Quahteh of a mile, mebbe. Come on!" But it was nearer half a mile, and the three brisk sprints had told on the colt. Boot him never so hard, it was all Herman could do to keep Zanzibar on even terms with Mose's mount. "You on'y foolin' 'ith me. He kin do betteh than that! We in the stretch now; shake him up!"
"I'm surprised wid ye," remarked Tim McCabe, when the panting youth stood among them again. "I thought ye were too tired to indulge in any such foolin'. Whin ye want to slide down hill, make use of the slid instead of your stummick." "I don't think I'll want to do any more sliding down hill in this part of the world," replied the frightened, but grateful youth.
He'd just par'lyze her till we couldn't even get a job goin' t' hunt 'n' fetch th' cows out o' a ten acre pasture. 'N' th' worst o' 't is I don't know that I'd blame him so almighty much for doin' it, for there was sure somethin' comin' t' us for foolin' them I don't believe we got yet.
But the warning was enforced by a command from another voice weak, unheroic, but familiar, "I order this yer to stop right yer!" A burst of ironical laughter followed. The voice was Uncle Ben's. "Stand back! This is no time for foolin'," said the sheriff roughly. "He's right, Sheriff Briggs," said Stacey's voice hurriedly; "you're acting for HIM; he's the owner of the land." "What?
"There warn't no foolin' her," pursued Cap'n Abe, whose pipe had gone out but whose knitting needles twinkled the faster. "No. She knowed the schooner far's she could glim her. She watched the Bravo caught in the cross-current when the gale dropped sudden, and tryin' to claw off shore. "But no use! She was doomed! There warn't no help for the schooner.
"'T won't work. Come up here 'n' set down." "Stop foolin', man," said the adjutant. "I ain't a-foolin'." "He ain't a-foolin'; he means business," said one of the prisoners. "Don't ye tamper with me. I 'll teach you " the adjutant threatened. "Ain't a-goin' t' tamper with ye a minute," said D'ri. "If ye don't set down here quick, I 'll put a hole in ye." "Lunatic! wha' d' ye mean?"
