"They jus' made me mad with all their airs," observed Trot, "so I gave 'em a piece of my mind." "You surely did, mate," said the sailor, "but I ain't sure they understand what they're like when they're salted an' hung up in the pantry. Folks gener'ly gets stuck-up 'cause they don't know theirselves like other folks knows 'em." "We are near Crabville now," declared Merla.
If you said to me: 'This is a black horse named Fairfax and that over there is nothing, I couldn't tell which was which. Old-timer, you're in bad." "Mebbe I am." Old Man Curry's tone was apologetic and conciliating in the extreme. "Mebbe I am. You ought to know 'bout hosses, Frank. You most gener'ly do."
You know what a nervous old dear she is. I just thought if I rode out it might brighten her up. You see, she'd think the danger less, if a woman came to meet her." "Wal, I won't say you no, gal," Seth replied gravely. "Guess it ain't right. But ther' ain't a heap of danger. Y' see in them old days I most gener'ly let you do as you notioned," he finished up with a shadowy smile. "Dear old daddy!"
I don't want him to say anything to me." "Oh, he didn't say anything, Elick. What was there to say?" "He doesn't gener'ly keep still because he has nothin' to say." The man gave a muffled, explosive laugh, and pushed back his chair. Mrs. Randall's eyelids reddened. She laid down her work and got up.
Howsum, mebbe ther' wus reason. Old Joe, he wus the daddy o' the lot. Jim Marlin used to say as Joe most gener'ly used a black lead when he writ his letters; didn't fancy wastin' ink. Mebbe that's kind o' zaggerated, but I guess he wus the next thing to a fact'ry o' blottin' paper, sure.
Mebbe I tink right. Squaw, Vic, squaw." The old boy chuckled heartily at his pleasantry. He was a French-Canadian half-breed and spoke with a strong foreign accent. Ambrose joined in the laugh. "Ho, Jean, man," cried the latter. "No bad blood, I'm guessin'. Ther's good thick rum, lad, an' I mind you're a'mighty partial most gener'ly."
"Don't he most gener'ly drive your team?" he inquired without enthusiasm. "Of course he does. But he's s'posed to be right out in the hay sloughs cutting. I heard Kate tell him this morning." O'Brien's eyes twinkled, and a deep chuckle came from somewhere in the depths of his beard. "Ken you beat it?" he inquired, with cordial appreciation. "Do you get his play?" "Play?"
Maybe that canyon is a river, an' if so the entrance to it's nigh sure a muskeg. A bottomless muskeg. You seen 'em, ain't you? No? Wal, they're swamps, an' if we get into one, why, I guess ther's jest Hail Columby, or some other fool thing waitin' for us at the bottom. Still ther' mayn't be no muskeg. As I sez, you never can tell, tho' ther' most gener'ly is.
Two of 'em ain't a deal at 'draw, the other's pretty neat. I tho't, mebbe, you'd notion a hand up here wi' us. It's better'n loafin' down 't the saloon. We most gener'ly play a dollar limit." And so it was arranged. Tresler stayed. He was initiated.
That took cheek, ain't? fur that little girl to stand there and jaw Jake Getz and make him quit lickin' you! By gum, that minds me of sceneries I've saw a'ready in the theayter! They most gener'ly faints away in a swoond that way, too. Well, Tillie she come round all right, ain't? till a little while?" "Yes. But she was very pale and weak, poor child!"
