Had I been fed up like youse" and he bowed grandly "there's no tellin' what I might 'a' writ. Thankin' you for the box-office receipts, I am yours to demand, Sundown Slim, of Outdoors, Anywhere, till further notice." Then he marched histrionically to the ranchhouse and made a fire in the rusted stove. John Corliss rode up to the water-hole, dismounted, and pushed through the gate.
And then, preceding the judge by half a minute only, his entrance timed histrionically to the second, he came, like Eudoxia, like a flame out of the east. In swept Caput Magnus with all the dignity and grace of an Irving playing Cardinal Wolsey.
I don't want to have a geographical inventory of the girl's parents, relatives, and personal effects to ascertain what she can do histrionically."

With trunks and relatives waiting for her like open dates all over the country in most of the big cities, I guess Gotown won't scare her.
I was regularly invited to descend, even though baggageless, and to pass through the searching-room, making heroic protest as I did so that 'I had nothing to declare.

Never, never, never!
As the Reading advanced, the difficulties not only increased, they became tenfold, immediately upon the introduction of Polly. Dickens, however, conquered them all somehow.
