He would have plunged into hasty apology, but Foster plucked his sleeve: "Look who's coming, you galoot! She hasn't heard a word either of us has said." And though Nellie Travers, noting the sudden silence, burst into an immediate and utterly irrelevant lament over the loss of the Maltese kitten, which had not been seen all that day and was not to be found when they came away, it was useless.
It was late in the afternoon, when they were lounging in the room, and Bill was admiring his new pants he boasted of having bought them for three dollars, and pointed out that Milt had been a "galoot" to spend ten dollars for shoes that some one knocked at the door. Sleepily expectant of his landlady, Milt opened it on Miss Claire Boltwood, Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Gilson, and Mr. Geoffrey Saxton.
"Take him alive, Charlie," advised Arietta, "Where are Jim and the girls?" "Right back there a little ways," was the reply. "But you jest leave it ter me ter settle with Cap Roche. I'll show ther two-faced galoot what's what!" Arietta said no more, but hurried through the pass in the direction Charlie had indicated.
The new name struck him favorably. "I'm inclined to agree with Budge," he said, "cause there hain't any other place that's hit onto it. All of them names that you chaps have tried to spring onto us, have been used in other places, or at least some part of the names, but, as Budge has observed, no galoot has scooped 'Constantinople."
Next you'd see a raft sliding by, away off yonder, and maybe a galoot on it chopping, because they're most always doing it on a raft; you'd see the axe flash and come down you don't hear nothing; you see that axe go up again, and by the time it's above the man's head then you hear the K'CHUNK! it had took all that time to come over the water.
"And an ordinary chicken, with the pip thrown in, could pungle twice to my once." "Ain't got the stuff, hey?" said Parky. "Broke, I s'pose? Then maybe you'll git to work, you old galoot, and stop playin' parson and goody-goody games. You don't git nothing here without the chink. So perhaps you'll git to work at last." A red-nosed henchman of the gambler's put in a word.
You do not have long to wait, for the animal courteously rises, humps up his or her back, stretches, yawns, and with the remark, "the galoot wants to interview me, probably, and I wish he would keep away," the particular one sought for comes to the reception room and puts out its front foot for a shake, smiles and says, "Glad you came. Was afraid you would let us go away and not call."
"If it were anything high-minded and dangerous, Dodge wouldn't dare," admitted Dick. "But minds like his will dare a good deal to put through anything scoundrelly against people who try to be decent." "Hey, there, you galoot! You thin, long-drawn-out seven feet of tin soldier!" After having been home a week, Dick Prescott flushed as he wheeled about to meet this jeering greeting.
When he sits down at the piano they begin to howl for Italian rag. Why, I'd rather play the piano in a five-cent moving picture house than do what I'm doing now. But the old man wanted his son to be a business man, not a crazy, piano-playing galoot. That's the way he put it. And I was darn fool enough to think he was right. Why can't people stand up and do the things they're out to do!
I'll attend to you when I'm through with this long-haired galoot!" Beaufort contemptuously kicked Penny's shoe. "Get up and fight, you! You can't shy rocks at me and get away with it!" Penny had so far said nothing, but, although there was a gravely amused smile on his thin face, his eyes held a dangerous sparkle. "It can't be done, Beaufort," he answered. "I'm not fighting today.
