He found a left hind shoe that did not suit him, and put down the foot and wiped his hands on his breeches. "Who shod this horse, Quiller?" he said. "Dunk Hodge," I answered. The hunchback made a gesture as of one offered information that is patent. "I know Dunk made the shoes," he said, "by the round corks. But they've been reset. Who reset 'em?" "Dunk," said I. "Not by a jugful!" responded Ump.
"Ye needna cry oot like that at guid cauld watter," said Janet. "But ye'll jist absteen frae ony mair sic words i' my hearin', or ye s' get the like ilka time ye brak oot." As she spoke, she knelt, and wiped his face and head with her apron. A fresh oath rushed to Angus's lips, but the fear of a second jugful made him suppress it, and Janet sat down again to her dinner.
He was tellin' me about some tenant he'd have to put out; but I never noticed more'n that the name was Jenks." "But now?" ventured Paul. "It won't be did! No, sir, not by a jugful. I got my team outside, an' I'm goin' straight over to see the widder. I knowed her husband onct too, an' I'm some 'shamed thet I didn't look her up afore," and Peleg started for the door.

You needn't expect to get what you don't give. I'm glad I was born with a taste for liking, though I don't like every one, by a jugful.

There are some people I could never congeal with and I am never even going to try.
They got to know that yell, and whenever any of the boys heard it they'd laugh and say: 'There's that fool Eli huntin' polecats again. But I wasn't, not by a jugful; I was giving him a wide berth, and taking off my hat to him in the bargain. Oh! ever since that day I've had the greatest respect you ever heard tell of for the ornery little critters."
"Shall I run over to the stump and get the envelope?" asked Kendrick when he had recovered from his first surprise. "Not by a jugful! Podmore thinks you're playing his game, doesn't he? Always draw to the aces, Phil. Leave the envelope where it is. Hello, Thorlakson. Hello, boys. Good work last night. I want to thank you all. Mr. Kendrick here has just been telling me how well you did your duty.
"It was only the square thing toward your father; he has been straight with me and I want to show him that I can be a gentleman, too." The boys were silent for an interval; then Bob said: "Now about this snarl, Van what are we going to do? Certainly we fellows are not going to let this feud of our fathers affect us." "Not by a jugful!" retorted Van with spirit.
"Which means, if I understand it, that you're guessing at the man that I've given you all this trouble for nothing." Crane wished that Farrell had kept his doubts to himself; the case had been made strong by his first decision, and now the devil of uncertainty would destroy the value of identification.

She'll be good as ever in a couple of hours. Then you and me can start for Orham. "'In HER? says I. "'Sure, he says. "'Not by a jugful! says I, emphatic. 'I'll borrer a boat to get to Orham in, when I'm ready to go. You won't ketch me in that man killer again; and you can call me a coward all you want to! "'A coward? says he. 'You a coward?
