And yet, with all that, was there any satisfying some of these cheap ginks? The answer was that there was not. There was never any trouble, though, about casting the principal rôle. That was easy a matter of natural selection. If it could be played vampishly from the ground up, and it usually could trust Mr.
Dick came up first, chuckling as he landed on the edge of the break in the rock, and was immediately followed by Jimmie. "Where's Tommy and George?" asked Will in a whisper. "They're down there looking for the money!" "Looking for the money in the darkness?" "Sure!" was the reply. "You see," he went on, "those ginks tied us up, good and tight, and then threw the money around promiscuous like!"
Say, Dick, that's an ugly-looking guy, that idol, eh. Won't these ginks get a startler when they hear him speak presently!" "Speak?" repeated Dick. "How do you mean?" "You just wait and see, sonny," returned Earle. "Oh, yes, he'll speak, you bet. And what he is going to say is But here comes the chief and his principal headmen to meet us.
"I don't know what a philosopher is," Tom said, with characteristic blunt honesty, "but I know all the trails around here, if that's what you're talking about." "Oh, you mean about guides?" Hervey asked, just a trifle puzzled. "That's an expression, guide, philosopher, and friend. It comes from Shakespeare or one of those old ginks; it means a kind of a moral guide, I suppose." "Oh," said Tom.
But when I caught my first glimpse of him, there in the Corrugated gen'ral offices that mornin', there was more or less comedy idea to his get-up; the high-sided, flat-topped derby, for instance. Once in a while you run across an old sport who still sticks to that type of hard-boiled lid. Gen'rally they're short-stemmed old ginks who seem to think the high crown makes 'em loom up taller.
And I'm not sure that I should worry very much as to whether there were any 'gators in it, or not. By the way, how did you come off that morning when those ginks rushed the camp? Did you get hurt any?" "Not a scratch," answered Dick. "Hadn't a chance to. The beggars were upon me and had me trussed up so that I couldn't move hand or foot, before my eyes were fairly open.
"He's caught on to too much about us while he's been here, and he can tell those ginks a lot that we don't want 'em to know. So's long as we kin get out o' here alive, we'd better take him along." "He spoiled our plans to-night. He deserves to be knocked on the head an' thrown out to the 'gators!" "Spoilt our plans, you bet! But he'll get his, by-and-by. Come, take him and hustle away.
"Stick to him and you'll wear diamonds that's what he tries to put across," was Lise's comment on Mr. Frear's method, and thus Janet gained the impression that her sister's feelings were not deeply involved. "If I thought he'd make good with the sprinkler I might talk business. But say, he's one of those ginks that's always tryin' to beat the bank. He's never done a day's work in his life.
And, by a perverse combination of circumstances, we can see nothing of it Ah! thank goodness, the lightning is becoming more vivid. I would give a good round sum for a real first-class thunderstorm; and, by ginks! I believe we are going to have it."
I'll dress the ginks that scrub the horses down in solid gold braid, and put the corpse of chamber ladies in Irish lace I bust into society, marry a duke's one and only, and swipe her coronet for my manly brow. Did you ask me anything, Doc?" "Swipe me!" said the Flopper. "Me in me private Pullman in a plush seat an' anudder to put me feet in, an' me thumbs in de armholes of me vest.
