I went into a cafe to and while it was being mixed I asked the man who grabs up your hot Scotch spoon as soon as you lay it down what he understood by the term, epithet, description, designation, characterisation or appellation, viz.: a "Man About Town." "Why," said he, carefully, "it means a fly guy that's wise to the all-night push see?
"'What th' dickens he commences, when one o' th' men on th' floor, seein' th' gun in his hand, an' not recognizin' him, shouted, 'They're comin' t' finish us, an' grabs th' mate round th' legs wi' th' grip of a boa constrictor. "Th' mate, sure it was mutiny, lets off his gun permiscuous.
Then I ambulates out among the rubes 'n' acts like I'm willing to bet on the bay geldin'. If I finds a live one, Butsy takes his hoss up in his lap the last two trips 'n' Peewee comes on 'n' grabs the gravy. "We figger the rubes'll eat it up after seein' that nice-lookin' black stud romp away with the first heat. But right there the dope falls down the rubes ain't as dead as they look.
Gussie rushes and grabs the Bassett.... Wait. Why shouldn't she simply walk downstairs?" "You are overlooking the effect of sudden alarm on the feminine temperament, sir." "That's true." "Miss Bassett's impulse, I would imagine, sir, would be to leap from her window." "Well, that's worse. We don't want her spread out in a sort of purée on the lawn.
Mine host of Kachahurda can scarcely be called a very civilized or refined individual; he has neither the gentle kindliness of Kirkoragha Vartarian, nor the dignified, gentlemanly bearing of Tifticjeeoghlou Effendi; but he grabs a club, and roaring like the hoarse whistle of a Mississippi steamboat, chases a crowd of villagers out of the room who venture to come in on purpose to stare rudely at his guest; and for this charitable action alone he deserves much credit; nothing is so annoying as to have these unwashed crowds standing gazing and commenting while one is eating.
Mike and me we turned as sick as dogs at what we seen; and presently Mike grabs me by the hand and says: `Let's get back to the ship, mate, and report.
"Wished onto suckers in exchange for real money, eh?" says I. "Ain't that it?" Mr. Robert nods. "With so many dividends bein' passed," says I, "that's goin' to take some strategy." "Hence this appeal to us," says he. "And I might add, Torchy, that one of those most interested is a near relative of a certain young lady who " "Aunty?" says I. It was. So I grins and grabs my hat.
No doubt this transaction bore the same look to those on board the fleet, for when I came up on deck in the morning to see if any change had taken place during the night, I was astonished to see the space between the Morattoes' camp and the sand spit covered with tents, in which were about two thousand troops newly landed from the fleet, the last of the boats that had put them ashore being then half-way back, and rowing right round the grabs and gallivats, which were moored altogether close in under the walls of the fortress.
Now get me: the claim turns out good, and Ponatah's heavenly pilot makes a Mexican divvy he takes the money and gives her his best wishes. He grabs everything, and says he never knew nobody by the name of Ponatah he gets so he can't even pronounce it. He allows her face is familiar, but he can't place her, and the partnership idea allus was repugnant to him.
I jumps up when I realizes things, grabs my raiment, an', gettin' my hoss outen the corral, goes p'intin' down the pike more'n a mile 'fore I even stops to dress. The last I sees of the old man lie's buckin' an' pitchin' an' tossin', an' the females a-holdin' of him, an' he reachin' to get a Hawkins's rifle as hangs over the door. I never goes back no more, 'cause he's mighty tindictive about it.
