'What are you here for? says he. 'Why, says Rickets, in his off-hand way, for he always had great confidence, 'to fetch Sue." "The old man used to wear brass toes to keep his boots from wearing out," said Mr. Lincoln, dreamily. "You see," continued Mr. Lincoln, "you see the galoot knew that Jim Rickets wasn't to be trusted with Susan Bell."
"He'd better look out. Why, Nell, he never saw he never what did Uncle Al used to call it? sav savvied that's it. Riggs never savvied that hunter. But I did, you bet." "Savvied! What do you mean, Bo?" "I mean that long-haired galoot never saw his real danger. But I felt it. Something went light inside me. Dale never took him seriously at all."
Jim was all fixed up, and he says to the galoot, 'Let's have a throw. Now the galoot knew old Bell was looking over the fence So he says, 'All right, and he gives Jim the first shot Jim fetched down the big pear, got his teeth in it, and strolled off to the house, kind of pitiful of the galoot for a, half-witted ass. When he got to the door, there was the old man.
Very likely there was some young galoot waiting even now, to whisk Laura LaRue's daughter off the stage before she ever got on. Moreover there was always her family to cope with, dyed in the wool New Englanders at that, no doubt with the heavy Puritan mortmain upon them, narrow as a shoe string, circumscribed as a duck pond, walled in by ghastly respectability.
"How could they've found her out so soon?" He walked quietly up to the milker, and remarked: "Purty early in the mornin' to do your milkin'. Didn't used to git up so early when you was at home, did you?" "Sh sh sh!" whispered the other. "Don't speak so loud. You'll wake up that old galoot inside. Keep quiet till I fill my cup, and then I'll let you have a chance. There'll be plenty for you."
Jack, who, with all his careless ways, had a penetrating mind for the perception of character, whispered to me, within five minutes after the fellow came aboard: "If that galoot had his way, we'd make our entry in irons. Mark my words, there's mischief in him. Hang him! I'm going to keep my pistol handy when he's around."
It can't be that empty-headed galoot, Dan Whitley, who never knew nothin' 'bout the rights an' wrongs of the war, an' had to go off with the Yanks!
"That depends upon the feller who comes to meet her." "But you aint going to try to take him? That would be playing it pretty low down on them both." "Keep your hair on, Jimmy! The Judge and me are only going to rastle with the sperrit of that gay young galoot, when he drops down for his girl and exhort him pow'ful!
They can stand right up here and tell me to my face that I'm a galoot and a liar and a hick! Only if they do if they do! don't faint with surprise if some of those rum-dumm liars get one good swift poke from Mike, with all the kick of God's Flaming Righteousness behind the wallop! Well, come on, folks! Who says it? Who says Mike Monday is a fourflush and a yahoo? Huh?
And the pear was the Senatorship, which the galoot had denied himself to save Susan from being Mr. Rickets' bride. Stephen could understand likewise the vehemence of the Republican leaders who crowded around their candidate and tried to get him to retract that Question. He listened quietly, he answered with a patient smile.
