Post-horses rose in price, and Dobbin and Smiler, and Jumper and Cappy, and Jessy and Tumbler were jobbed from the neighbouring farmers, and converted for the occasion into posters.
The characters of buccaneer, land-pirate, knight-errant could not be conveniently united with those of banker, exchange broker, dealer in dry goods, and general commission agents. The consequence was that the fighting business became a specialty, and fell into the hands of private companies. Florence, like Venice, and other Italian republics, jobbed her wars.
"Get into the brougham, dear man," she said, "and let me talk. There, put up the window on the traffic side. I have been in the liveliest worry about you. Had the house turned out of windows to find you and gave things in general the deuce of a time. The brougham's comfortable, isn't it? Fallowfeild's jobbed it for the winter for me.
It was a creditor in the shape of the man of whom she jobbed her carriages. He had settled himself on the bench in the anteroom, and the fellow was free to twiddle his thumbs till night there wasn't the least hurry now.

"All very well to say fight; fight for all the fellows in the Land and Forest Service when they see a steal being sneaked and jobbed! But suppose you do fight, and get licked, and get yourself chucked out of the job? Suppose the follow who takes your place sells out to the enemy well, then; where are you? Lost everything; gained nothing!"
"When we started out to rob the Union Pacific train you promised to see that we got provisions, and you didn't keep your word!"

They almost foamed with rage as they stamped about the cavern, still linked together with the steel handcuffs. "We're being jobbed!" Katz shouted.
