I've been watching him closely, and it's about all he can stick, having to support ME. If you ring in a mother and a little brother on him, he'll crack under the strain." "Well, I've got to do something about it. Mabel will be over here in a week." "Great Scot! You never told us that." "Yes. She's going to be in the new Billington show. And, naturally, she will expect to meet my family.
He don't open to you the door with one hand, and then shut it in your face with the other; that ain't his way at all He has let you in at the gate, and you may be sure as he'll never turn you off the road with his own hand, now that you're on it." "Thank God for that!" said Foster, reverently.
He may be the whole thing in Central Africa but I'm as big as he is in London, and he'll find it out when he comes home." "If I was you," said Hanson, "I wouldn't let any man keep me from gettin' the girl I want. Between you and me I ain't got no use for him either, and if I can help you any way just call on me."
"Yes," Purvy spoke in a weak whisper; but the old vindictiveness was not smothered. "You got the old man, I reckon you can manage the cub. If you don't, he'll get you both one day." The two henchmen scowled. "I'll git him to-morrer," growled Asberry. "Thar hain't no sort of use in a-waitin'." "No!"
Then the war broke out and he's been trying to get back to Key West, and now, of course, he'll make for Kingston. He cabled me yesterday, at my expense, to try and get him a job on our paper. If the war hadn't come on he had a plan to beat his way around the world. And he'd have done it, too. I never saw a man who wouldn't help Charlie along, or lend him a dollar."

As for Neb, he rolled his dark eyes about in wonder, and took an occasion to say to me "He'll make her talk, Masser Miles, afore he have done."

"Why, sir," exclaimed Jack, as they got almost alongside, "I do believe that is my old acquaintance Don Diogo. He'll do us a mischief if he can." "Be ready, lads, to spring on board the moment the boat touches her side," cried Hemming.
He'll go to any of 'em, don't make any difference which, Baptist, Methodist, Lutheran, Catholic; he says he can get all he's looking for out of any of 'em, and he kind of likes to change off now and then. But he's a good man. He won't hire any one that cusses too bad or is hard on animals, and he won't even let the freighters work on Sunday.
Though he had carried off the rest of the interview with entire assurance, during that fight the creature had been terror-stricken. "He'll have reason for fear the next time I get hold of him," Laurie reflected, grimly. But that fear was of him, not of Doris. What might not Doris be undergoing, even now?
Weight for age Diablo's a four-year-old; you ought to carry a hundred and twenty-six, but he's not The Dutchman's class, an' the ycungster'd lose him before they'd gone half the journey. We'll run 'em at level weights, an' he'll get closer to The Dutchman, an' the sharks won't have such a fairy tale to tell about our horse."
