You never know when the right hunch is going wrong." "But I know a lot of systems that went wrong, an' I never seen a system win." Shorty paused and sighed. "Look here, Smoke, if you're gettin' cracked on systems this ain't no place for you, an' it's about time we hit the trail again." During the several following weeks, the two partners played at cross purposes.
I'll run down every tip and any hunch before I'll quit a case, saying virtually: 'Well, that man, or this man, seems guilty; go ahead and string him up. "No innocent man's going to his death as long as I feel there's a chance of the guilty fellow being around and laughing up his sleeve. That's the whole thing in a nutshell. That's why I'm after Morley! That's why I'm going to Washington."
"I hope you're right," he told the chief, "but I've a hunch you're wrong. I believe this murder is more than an ordinary robbery by a darky. Somehow, I have the impression that there's something big mixed up in it." "Why?" "I can't say exactly. Perhaps it's because I've been thinking of the beauty of the victim.
I think he's on the trail. That's what I meant by another car." "What's he doing?" "Maybe he has a hunch. I'm getting superstitious about this case. You know Luis de Mendoza has thirteen letters in it. Leslie told me something about a threat he had a curse. You better look out for those two greasers you have up there. They may have another knife for you."
The eyes shifted to Harnish, who scribbled on a piece of paper and shoved it forward. "I'll just let you-all know this ain't no Sunday-school society of philanthropy," he said. "I see you, Jack, and I raise you a thousand. Here's where you-all get action on your pat, Mac." "Action's what I fatten on, and I lift another thousand," was MacDonald's rejoinder. "Still got that hunch, Jack?"
Men treat women like little tinsel queens before, and afterwards they answer to save a cook's wages and drudge their lives out feeding a hunch of half-starved hands or else go to the other extreme. Wives are either work horses or pets. I was raised like a boy and I want to have a say in running things myself." "You can go your own gait," he pledged. "I'm doing that now," she returned.
Ruff gazed down at her with great disapproval and even disappointment. "Say, did you have some fool idee I was a-goin' to kill you?" he queried, gruffly. "I'm afraid I did," faltered Carley. Her relief was a release; it was so strange that it was gratefulness. "Wal, I reckon I wouldn't have hurt you. None of these flop-over Janes for me!... An' I'll give you a hunch, Pretty Eyes.
"Girl, your hunch 's correct," said Anson. "Well, do you know I'm the wrong girl?" "What's thet? I reckon you're Nell Rayner, who got left all old Auchincloss's property." "No. I'm Bo Rayner. Nell is my sister. She owns the ranch. Beasley wanted her." Anson cursed deep and low. Under his sharp, bristling eyebrows he bent cunning green eyes upon Riggs. "Say, you! Is what this kid says so?" "Yes.
I shall have a hunch on my back and then I shall die," and he began to writhe again and turned on his face and sobbed and wailed but he didn't scream. "You didn't feel a lump!" contradicted Mary fiercely. "If you did it was only a hysterical lump. Hysterics makes lumps. There's nothing the matter with your horrid back nothing but hysterics! Turn over and let me look at it!"
And the game goes merrily on, with Sandy collecting steadily on his hunch and Cora Wales telling her husband the truth about himself every time one of these three numbers didn't win; she exposed some very distressing facts about his nature the time she put five apiece on the three numbers and the single-o come up.
