"'Halt! and I'll be dog-Boned if there wasn't two of the meanest looking Rebels, standing not ten feet from me, with their guns cocked and pointed at me, and, of course, I knew I was a goner; they walked me back about one hundred and fifty yards, where their picket line was. From there I was kept going for an hour or two until we got over to a place on the railroad called East Point.
"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.
"I'm a goner!" he muttered, and then, just before the tracks were reached, he made one wild, desperate leap in the direction of a number of bushes skirting the woods. He turned over and over, hit hard and for several seconds knew no more. When Dick and Sam came up they found Tom sitting in the very midst of the bushes.
Strikes me we've pulled him inside out." "Go on with yer. It's all right. It's on'y his jersey pulled right over his head and shoulders, and most off his arms. That's the way. There you are. You're all right now, arn't you, Neb?" "Oh, my heye!" muttered the great fellow, and I felt a profound sense of satisfaction in hearing him speak again. "I began to think I was a goner." "Not you," said Bob.
So Richard and Frank fell back into the crowd, and were immediately joined by Bretzwartz, the German shipping-clerk. "I guess the place is a goner," remarked Frank, as the flames shot out of the upper windows. "Wonder how it caught?" said Richard. "Der poiler in der pasement busted," put in Bretzwartz.
A man was brought there, this evening, sir, pretty well done up by a runaway. After he'd been fixed a bit he asked me for his coat, and when I fetched it he took out this bundle of papers and put them under his pillow. The doctors didn't bother him much, for they saw he was a goner, and when he asked if he could live they told him no.

Ol' Dock Smith was a very careful, conserv'tive man, an' he never said nothin' unless he knowed he was right. "Bill began to git wuss, an' he kep' a-gittin' wuss every day. One mornin' ol' Dock Smith sez, 'Look a-here, Bill, I guess you're a goner; as I figger it, you can't hol' out till nightfall.
Yet we kind of kept hoping all the time, even though we knew there wasn't any sense in it. "You thought you were a goner," Hunt said, "and you came back all right." Now I was a big fool that it didn't put a certain idea in my head when he said that, but I only said, "Yes, but that was different."
It can't go on like this much longer. It'll break in half an hour, 'gad, I know it will I feel it in my bones! If Thwicket doesn't sell inside of thirty minutes I'm a goner, and what's worse, he'll be a goner with me! What's this! 117! By the great horn spoon, I must get hold of Thwicket! Thwicket! Thwicket! My kingdom for Thwicket!" Mr.
