It looks gloomy in the cane, doesn't it? What would we do if we should find a bear in there?" "I don't know," answered Don, with a laugh. "Our guns are loaded with small shot, and they would hardly penetrate a bear's thick skin. If he should come at us, I'd be a goner, sure, for I am so stiff I couldn't run to save my life. But I don't think we'll find Halloo! Bert, just look here!"
"That's just the same way they go on round me. I reckon he's a goner. Don't you feel sorry for him, sometimes?" "Most always most always. He ain't no account; but then he hain't ever done anything to hurt anybody. Just fishes a little, to get money to get drunk on and loafs around considerable; but lord, we all do that leastways most of us preachers and such like.
And he threw himself back into his chair. In a minute the three were still. Except for two great tears from Billie's eyes, there were no signs of life. Two minutes passed, then three. Finally all four roused together. "Well!" Van Emmon was the first to speak. His voice was harsh and strained. "By George, that was a narrow squeak! I thought sure I was a goner! They threw Powart out of his yacht!"
There was nothing he could do but sit there, holding his friend's trembling hand and listening to his moans. When the train stopped, Jimmie sprang out and rushed to one of the brakemen, who came with his lantern, and saw "Wild Bill" lying in a pool of blood, already so far gone that he could not lift his head. "Jesus!" exclaimed the brakeman. "He's a goner, all right."
I felt in my bones that my five dollars was a goner, but determined to do my best, and managed to make it pretty lively for him. Finally, however, he landed me again squarely on my back. While taking a rest he remarked that "side-hold" was his favorite way to wrestle. I told him that I also preferred "side-hold." The fact was, I preferred almost anything for a change.
But sure, if I'd breathed I'd been a goner!" All of this was playfully intended for the extinction of an unoffending and impressionable tenderfoot. With an admiring glance at my tormentors, I rolled out my sleeping-bag and crawled into it, vowing I would remain there even if devil-fish, armed with pikes, invaded our cave. Late in the night I awoke.
If it hadn't ben for me he'd be down in Texas now, all right." Then Huck told his entire adventure in confidence to Tom, who had only heard of the Welshman's part of it before. "Well," said Huck, presently, coming back to the main question, "whoever nipped the whiskey in No. 2, nipped the money, too, I reckon anyways it's a goner for us, Tom." "Huck, that money wasn't ever in No. 2!" "What!"
Satisfying himself of that fact, Barney gazed at the tramp and said: "By Jove, Chip, I thought you were a goner when that confounded star fell out." Chip gave a deep sigh of relief, and taking off his hat, pointed to the perspiration which moistened the band: "Don't that look as though I thought so, too, Sam?" "How in the name of all that's lovely, did you happen to be so careless?"
It seemed to lodge in my throat; in fact, I was scared half the time. Every time I'd say a thing, no matter how little, I'd wonder if it injured my case or not. Alf, I'm a goner a clean goner. I'll never have a minute's peace till she's mine. It's going to be slow work. I asked her if I couldn't drive out to see her next Sunday, but she wouldn't hear to it.
