"I tell you, I'll borrow some money, by heck, and get you some clothes!" Lydia raised a startled face. "No! No! I'd rather go in rags than borrow money. We're almost out of debt now and we'll stay out. Don't borrow, Daddy," her voice rising hysterically. "Don't borrow!" Adam began to howl. "All right, dearie, all right!" said Amos. "I'm an old fool to have said anything," groaned Lizzie.
Parker himself, would be 'around' again. 'Unless Old Heck took some fool notion or other; before long he would be away on the beef hunt and one can never tell what might happen while one is gone and, well, that's the way he felt about it, so he just said it " "And you?" "Naturally was completely surprised, entirely non-committal, and made no definite agreement!" Ophelia laughed softly.
The Frothinghams are nice people and old friends and they have more money than some people have hay, but that doesn't give them a license to spoil one of my perfectly good evenings by sprinkling a lot of canned music and fricasseed recitations all over it. The Frothinghams have a skeleton in their closet. Its name is Uncle Heck and he weighs 237 not bad for a skeleton. Uncle Heck is a Joe Morgan.
In Chinatown the other day a peddler was selling spectacles and somehow the old men trying them on and squinting for "near" and for "far," seemed so quaint and countrified and like a lot of old Yankees around a country store trying to get a "new pair of eyes, by Heck."
His biographers, following his account, represent him as of ancient lineage: "His father actually descended from the ancient Smiths of Crudley in Lancashire, his mother from the Rickands at great Heck in Yorkshire;" but the circumstances of his boyhood would indicate that like many other men who have made themselves a name, his origin was humble.
During this exercise I would take the opportunity to improve my skills at handling the snakes. Bites! That's practically the first question anyone asks me when I talk of my croc bank vacation. Did I get bitten? Yes, several times, mostly by accident. But sometimes I allowed myself to be bitten just for the heck of it. I recall once when a ratsnake gave me a bite on the nose.
The car curled down the narrow dugway off of the bench and a moment later stopped at the gate in front of the ranch house of the Quarter Circle KT. "We're here," Skinny said, as Sing Pete, the Chinese cook, appeared at the open door. "They've come, Sing Pete," Old Heck called, climbing out of the car; "this is them! Is dinner ready?"
Skinny didn't tell them that his hand had rested on the handle of his own gun determined that he, himself, would kill Sabota if the brute succeeded in choking the Ramblin' Kid to death. "What was the fight about?" Old Heck asked.
Charley exclaimed, " it's just what I expected! She's one of these self-starting female suffragettes! That's what she is. I knowed she was too gentle acting to be harmless!" "She just had to break loose sooner or later," Bert said in an awed voice. "My Gawd!" Old Heck murmured hopelessly. "Holy gosh a'mighty!" The owner of the Quarter Circle KT was really shocked and worried.
Rider is confident that Mrs. Bently, of the Chicago affair, and Mrs. Vanderbeck, or 'heck' whatever her name may be are one and the same person." "Well, it is certain that Mrs. Vanderheck, of New York, who figures so conspicuously in society, has an enormous store of diamonds, however she came by them," Louis Hamblin remarked.
