Anyways, Joey tells me he's off this geezer and advises me to lay off him, too, though he can't name a thing against him." "Queer," said Knowlton, looking again at the canoe out on the water. "Gun running?" suggested McKay. "Nope," Tim contradicted. "I thought o' that, but Joey says they's nothin' to it; they watched this sourkrout close, and he don't never git no guns from nowheres.
"He's all right, bet yer life; he's fit ter go all day. De geezer as trains him ain't no mug. Let's go up in de stand, where we can see de whole show; den we'll come down an' cash in. Say, pard, if dis goes through I'll blow you off to a bottle of de best; wine ain't none too good fer dis coop."
Then he tended the fire, unstrapped the light pack from her back, and got out a complete change of foot- gear. Shorty returned along the creek-bed and climbed the bank to them. "I sure staked a full thousan' feet," he proclaimed. "Number twenty-seven and number twenty-eight, though I'd only got the upper stake of twenty-seven, when I met the first geezer of the bunch behind.
Early in the evening Jack took Uncle Heck to his room, sat him in front of a quart of vintage, and left the old geezer there to slosh around in the surf until sleep claimed him for its own. But after the wine was gone Uncle Heck put on the gloves with Morpheus, got the decision, marched down stairs and into the drawing room, where he immediately insisted upon being the life of the party.
Diggs rushed over to the bench, turned it upside down, looked behind the chairs, and then, emitting a roar that rattled the rafters, he hustled back to see if by any chance the prisoner had locked himself up in a cell. Bunch gave the old geezer the minnehaha and yelled, "Say! you with the me-ya-ya's on the chin! Did somebody give you the hot-foot and make a quick exit?"
The other hand was perpetually extended to receive other hands and on a few occasions to receive a kiss from some lecherous old geezer. It ended all too soon for Jenny, I could see. But when I glanced at her face as the last of the stragglers were leaving the room, I could tell she was dead tired. The pain in her ankle could not be masked any longer either.
He leaned over his saddle, questioning the men and thanking them for their gallantry. I thought he looked grayer and older than when he had addressed us. "Who mun that old geezer be, Jock?" asked a Highlander when he had passed. "I dinna ken," said the other Scot. "An' I dinna care." "It's the Commander-in-Chief," I said. "Sir John French." "Eh?" said the younger man, of the 8th Gordons.
The general drew himself up, and said, in his dramatic way, "The army commander salutes the honored dead!" And the drunken private put his head from under the blanket and asked, "What's the old geezer a-sayin' of?" That story may have been invented in a battalion mess, but it went through the army affixed to the name of Hunter Weston, and seemed to fit him.
"Life ain't no punkins without whiskey an' sweetenin'," was Shorty's greeting, as he pulled lumps of ice from his thawing moustache and flung them rattling on the floor. "An' I sure just got eighteen pounds of that same sweetenin'. The geezer only charged three dollars a pound for it. What luck did you have?" "I, too, have not been idle," Smoke answered with pride. "I bought fifty pounds of flour.
He would think his foot hurt if he had the toothache." "What a filthy, yellow, toothless, wicked old devil it is!" Jack went on. "Some day when he comes here with that basket of rats I'm going to cut his pigtail off close behind his ears." "I think he's the foulest old geezer I've ever met," Frank went on.
