Well, I don't blame yer; of course, 'e is a furriner; but I'm not one to say as furriners ain't no class. I was in love with an I-talian organ-grinder myself, when I was a girl, and I might 'ave married 'im for all I know, ef 'e 'adn't got run in for knifin' a slop what was always a aggravatin' 'im, poor chap.
Swift changes had followed the court-house fight. In spite of the death of Rufe Stetson from his wound, and several other Stetsons from ambush, the Lewallens had lost ground. Old Jasper's store had fallen into the hands of creditors "furriners" for debts, and it was said his homestead must follow. In a private war a leader must be more than leader.
If he hadn't been as weak as Taunton water that, folks say, can't run down hill as all them outlandish furriners is, and had on, to boot, regular stout cowhiders, I do believe he'd never had the chance to have the gout in one toe, anyhow. Why, I'd as soon trust a monkey with a coal of fire, in a powder-house, as one of them chaps with an axe."
As I read that passage I laughed with an amusement that was not feigned, and then I tore the paper into fragments which I scattered among the ashes. Dawson watched me and shrugged his shoulders. "We don't hardly like ter kill furriners " he said. "Them folks down below misunderstands hit an' raises hell but I reckon ef they won't take nuthin' but killin' they kin git kilt."
It's a month to-morrow since I gave notice, anyhow. I've had enough of furriners," said the footman with cold exultation. "Go go ged oud!" roared Mr. D'Arcy Rosenheimer. "When I've bin paid my wages," said the footman coldly. Erebus waited to hear no more. She turned the latch, slipped through the door, and slammed it behind her.
Beckenstein connected the degenerate innovation with the invasion of the school by 'furriners' all these hordes of Russian, Polish, and Roumanian Jews flying from persecution, who were sweeping away the good old English families, of which she considered the Beckensteins a shining example. What did English people want with banners and such-like gewgaws?
"ISN'T it queer how no one seems to know any one else?" remarked Grace, with more words than meaning. "You mean every one seems a stranger to every one else," added Cleo, affecting the same ambiguity. "Yes; to put it collectively, the whole town is being populated by rank 'furriners," said Louise, "but I can explain the analogy.
"Well, then, he was a Rooshian or a Prooshian." "Nor was he either of those." "Well, it don't make no diff'unce, nohow. He wuz a furriner, that's shore, an' he's dead, both uv which things is ag'inst him. It looks strange to me, Paul, that a furriner with the outlandish ways that furriners always hev should hev been sech a good gen'ral." "He was probably the best the world has produced, Jim.
It came, she knew, from far, however, and so did not rouse her apprehension, but, mildly, it aroused her curiosity. "Hull kentry's 'full o' furriners," she mused. "That railroad buildin' business in the valley brings 'em. Woods ain't private no more." Again the tink, tink-tink. "Sounds like hammerin' on rocks," she thought. "It's nearer than th' railroad builders, too.
Instantly the other lad made as though he would jump from his pony, but a cry of protest stopped him, and for a moment he glared his hot resentment of the insult; then he dug his heels into his pony's sides.
