They've mebbe had drought, chilblains, lost a new milch cow, and had a note come due and some one that's paid to do it tells 'em that it's all due to the political ring and then they begin to club the tree! But standing here spittin' froth about it ain't convertin' the heathern nor cooperin' them that imagine vain things. Now here's what I've done, grabbin' in so's to lose no time.
"If there was anything comin' to you killin' would be too good for you. You ain't done anything to me, you sufferin' fool not a thing! What you've done you've done to Mary Bransford. When you see Dale an' Silverthorn grabbin' the Double A, an' Mary Bransford ridin' away, homeless you'll have feelin's of remorse, mebbe if you've got any man in you at all!" Owen writhed and groaned.
I says to her when we got home, 'I guess after this you'd better take your airin's on a stun-boat. You won't be so liable to git run away with an' throwed out, I says." John laughed a little, but made no comment. "After all," said David, "I dunno 's I blamed her fer bein' skittish, but I couldn't have her grabbin' the lines.
No one owns more than his bit of a quarter an' there's times it seems like there's not enow quarters to go round. But don't you none o' you think as you own th' whole orange or you'll find out you're mistaken, an' you won't find it out without hard knocks." 'What children learns from children, she says, 'is that there's no sense in grabbin' at th' whole orange peel an' all.
I'm simply grabbin' in on it so that I can make sure that the fools of this town won't hook into that money with both hands and strew it galley-west. That's me! Now, if you've got business, then 'tend to it! And I'll be 'tendin' to mine!" It was not an encouraging prospect for a secretary who desired to be humble and helpful.
He coughed a dry, short cough, an' groans out between his set teeth. "It 's my heart; I got a bum pump. You tell George Jordan that I never breathed a word of it, but that Jack Whitman Oh, my God! Get me a drink of whiskey! Get me a drink of hell-fire!" He doubled up, grabbin' an' clawin' at his breast while I jumped to the bar yellin' for whiskey.
She had a way o' grabbin' me by de years an' shovin' my haid twixt her knees whilst she wuk on me sumpin' awful. No wonder I was scairt o' dese frammin's. I reckon dat was de cause o' me goin' t' sea. Ah mas' tell you 'bout dat. "One day my mammy gimme fifteen cents an' say 'Go down to de market and fetch me some fish. Ah' lissen don't you let no grass grew unda yo' feet.
"I say, young man," says he, grabbin' me by the elbow. "Wasn't I right about Louise?" "You had the dope," says I. "Some queen, even if she is near the forty mark." "And only imagine," he adds, "within a year or so she may be a grandmother!" "That don't count these days," says I. "It's gettin' so you can hardly tell the grandmothers from the vamps."
Here sat these grateful gentlemen, lately returned by a sort of miracle to the carpet of the green sod, swapping gibes like a couple of pirates. "Old Nick was grabbin' for us this time," said Jud, "an' he mighty nigh got us." "I reckon," answered Ump, "a feller ought to git down on his marrow-bones." "I wouldn't try it," said Jud. "You might cork yourself."
"Well, the idee gains ground like an antelope, an' at last gets to be quite a conspir'cy. It's settled we plays it, with Dave Tutt to do the shootin'. "'An' we makes the game complete, says Jack Moore, 'by grabbin' Dave immediate an' bringin' of him before the committee, which convenes all reg'lar an' deecorous in the Red Light for said purpose.
