We've got to treat him with due consideration, or he may leave us and carry his secret to others to Masterson, for instance, or the Amalgamated people, or " "Nothing doing on that, old man!" interrupted "Tiger." "Have no fear. The first move he makes, off to Sing Sing he goes, the way we jobbed Parker Hayes. Slade and the Cosmos Agency can take care of him, all right, if he asserts himself!"
John A. Hobson in "The Crisis of Liberalism" describes the "practical reformer" so that anybody can recognize him: "This revolt against ideas is carried so far that able men have come seriously to look upon progress as a matter for the manipulation of wire-pullers, something to be 'jobbed' in committee by sophistical notions or other clever trickery."
"In a few minutes I had jobbed all the go out of him, and he floated on the top of the water dead as a bloater, with me on the top, rather blown with being so long under water, but with that excepted, not much the worse for it." "Wonderful!" "Marvellous!" "A miracle!" Such were the mildest tributes of admiration which Mr. Mole's fanciful reminiscence drew forth.
"You're drunk!" retorted Lockhart, looking back over his shoulder, and Rimrock jumped to his feet. "I'll show you!" he cried, starting angrily after him, and L. W. turned swiftly to meet him. "You'll show me what?" he demanded coldly as Rimrock put his hand to his gun. "Never mind!" answered Rimrock. "You know you jobbed me. I let you in on a good thing and you sold me out to McBain.

It was headed with a heavy piece of iron, edged and tipped with the best Swedish steel, and this being jobbed against the ice, and kept constantly at work, soon splintered the shell into pieces.

I let out a whoop when I read it; but I could have canned my joy, for I was jobbed out of it by the courts and lawyers afterward not a cent to me, and I'm still paying 'm in instalments. "But I didn't know, then; and I prepared to pull back to God's country. Paloma got sore, and Vahna got the weeps. 'Don't go! Don't go! That was her song.
Say that if it so please them, these old ruins are my property, and are not to be jobbed out to the insolence of public curiosity. Go, sir." "But I beg pardon, your honour if they be great folks?"
