"Tate warned me she might get very difficult about this time. She's too conscientious, I feel." "She also," said Mihul, "has a boy friend in the Manon System. They've been palsy ever since they went through the school here together." "Ought to get married then," Plemponi said. He shuddered. "My blood runs cold every time I think of how close those grabbers got to her yesterday!" Mihul shrugged.
But other things will follow, and the plains will no longer keep men at bay. The money grabbers will pour in, and all the scum of creation will flock toward the setting sun. Then, too, I shall hate to see the wild animals that have their own rights killed in unsportsmanlike manner, and annihilated, as they are wherever men can easily reach them. Men are wasteful and bad.
On the Kilmeena banner appears, "No prison cell nor tyrant's claim Can keep us from our glorious aim."

Some day, perhaps, you'll have to marry him, and cure him of biting his nails when he's cross.... He thinks Johnny's a profiteer, too, because of the ribbons and things. Johnny is. It's in the blood. We're grabbers. Can't be helped.... Do you want the last walnut chocolate, old thing? If so, you're too late.
But, by dadder! my settings have always cracked the shells, twelve to the dozen! Then you don't want me, eh?" "That job in the state land-office we thought it would just about fit you," suggested the chairman. "I'd just as soon be sent to state prison solitary confinement. The state hasn't got any land any more. It has all been peddled out to the grabbers.
This meant retaining some sixteen million of acres to be exploited by land grabbers and by the representatives of the great special interests, at the expense of the public interest.
