Well might he have been startled by the change that came over Gaston's countenance; the merriment by which it had been lighted up suddenly vanished; he looked aghast, astounded, and his features worked as though with ill-suppressed rage. "I see you are amazed: I thought you would be! You did not take me for such a greenhorn!
The messenger opened his, observing that Greenhorn and Grinderson were good enough men for his expenses, and here was a letter from them desiring him to stop the diligence.
"Come now!" said Gavroche, "why not? I had one in 1830 when we had a dispute with Charles X." Enjolras shrugged his shoulders. "When there are enough for the men, we will give some to the children." Gavroche wheeled round haughtily, and answered: "If you are killed before me, I shall take yours." "Gamin!" said Enjolras. "Greenhorn!" said Gavroche.
"Boys, I'm disgusted; for the first time in my life since I have been in service; teetotally disgusted with the way things are carried on. I'm no greenhorn at this business either," continued the captain, assuming, as he spoke, the position of a soldier, and although somewhat ungainly when off duty, no man in the corps could take that position more correctly, or appear to better advantage.
Either Alvah Moon had lost confidence in his chances and had sold the invention to some greenhorn for anything he could get; or else some one else had been so deeply interested in the affair as to risk a great deal of money in it. Mrs. Rushmore's gleam of intelligence was a comet; but her comet had two tails, which was very confusing.
"Because, young greenhorn," said Hugh, "he who should bring a sword or other lethal weapon into the University would shortly be expelled by alma mater from her nursery, according to the statutes for that case made and provided." "But why do you come here, if you love fighting better than learning? There is plenty of fighting in the world."
But I had betrayed my father's trust in me and had gambled away his money, and what was as crushing to my vanity as this other was to my sense of honor I had been duped in a way that any greenhorn ought to have seen through. So I put it all behind me and was glad to be alone among strangers.
This man McConnell was erecting a store building about half way between Greenhorn Gulch and a new discovery that had recently been made, some two or three miles off. About two o'clock Mr. McConnell came to our camp and told us to come along with him to a certain miner's cabin, and that the miners would all be there and we would see what could be done.
For the first time he could not fill a dray, but had to share one with a greenhorn, who, if you please, was setting up at his very door. He and Hempel cracked their brains to account for the falling-off or at least he did: afterwards he believed Hempel had suspected the truth and been too mealy-mouthed to speak out.
Well, of course you also know Jim he's graduated into a regular cub reporter, as he's so fond of calling it, because that word cub is used so often in the movies, when they show up a big newspaper office in New York or Chicago, and the latest greenhorn on the staff is given an assignment that allows him to make the greatest news scoop ever heard of.
