"You'd better take it for awhile, and give yours a rest." "I will, said Pete, dismounting and leaping to the saddle of the other. It was a great relief for his own mount, whose shoulder was badly wrenched. "This is forcin' th' enemy to give us aid an' comfort," commented Pocus Pete, as he settled to the saddle, having put on his own in place of the one Len used, which did not fit the foreman.
Fenley was dead, but didn't appear so greatly upset. She was more puzzled-like kep' on mutterin': 'Who did it? Who could have the cool darin' to shoot him dead in broad daylight, at his own door, before his servants? She was sort of forcin' herself to think, to find out, just as if it was a riddle, an' the right answer was on the tip of her tongue.
Dale dropped into a chair beside a center-table, took up the pen, poised it over the paper, and looked at Sanderson. "I am hereby returning to Deal Sanderson the seven thousand two hundred dollars I stole from, him," directed Sanderson. "I am doing this of my own accord no one is forcin' me," went on Sanderson.
I don't object to anybody's takin' a drink if you wants to, out o' business hours; nor, if a man keeps his work right up to the scratch, I wouldn't be the one to baste him if he got good an' drunk once in two, three years, maybe. It ain't MY way. I let it alone, but I never believed in forcin' my way on a grown-up son in moral matters. I guess I was wrong!
"It has not been made intentionally, I should hope, O'Hearn?" "'Twas made by Joel, and that by just sawing off a post, and forcin' out a pin or two, so that the palisade works like a door. Och! it's nately contrived, and it manes mischief." "This must be looked to, at once," cried the captain; "lead the way, Mike, and show us the spot."
"Oh, but Mary, me cousin, by marriage that is. I hate it. I hate it worse nor ever was. Sure, it was bad enough touchin' a match to them neat little clothes o' theirs but forcin' themselves away Ah! Mary, mother o' seven, think! What if 'twas one o' your own, now?" wheedled Tim. But Mary was not to be moved. Indeed, she dared not be.
Blister brought him back to the question of the moment. "An' you were t-takin' her ?" "To Brown's Park." "Forcin' her to go. Was that it?" Hollister broke in. "No, sir. She went of her own accord." "Asked you to take her there, mebbe?" "None o' yore damn business." "How old is she, Mr. Houck?" Larson questioned. "I dunno." "I do. Sixteen coming Christmas," said Dud. "Dillon told me."
"It will keep yer parents from forcin' ye to marry that Lord's son. They can't touch ye if ye jist foller my advice." "I will, Captain. Just tell me what to do." "Git married." "Oh!" The girl gave a great start, while her face crimsoned. "Didn't expect that, eh?" and the captain chuckled. "Took ye kinder by surprise?" "Indeed it did. And I'm afraid I can't take your advice.
Ef I loves ye I kain't kill ye an' ef I hates ye thar's time enough." "But Alexander, you do love me! I know " "Wa'al, I don't an' thet's a right pithy point ter my manner of thinking! Ye're a right masterful sort of feller, an' ye likes ter plow yore way through life gloryin' in yore strength an' forcin' your will on weaker folks."
"Well no I can't say as I do; not altogether," answered the boatswain, fidgeting uneasily where he sat. "But I hopes it won't come to that, Mr Troubridge. I don't hold with forcin' anybody to do what they don't want to do; but I don't see as it'd do you no very serious harm for to agree to navigate this here ship to the spot where we wants her took to; and that's all as you're to be asked to do."
