"I wouldn't sell you our ammunition at any price, and I don't think my friends care to either." "That's the talk," put in Shep. "You don't get anything out of us," murmured Giant. "Not by a jugful!" added Whopper. "Then you won't sell us any ammunition?" asked Vance Lemon, and his face grew as sour as the fruit his name represented. All of the young hunters shook their heads with vigor.
"Not by a jugful! She wasn't built with a shaft log, and I won't have you weakening my Mindoro by cutting away her deadwood " "Tish! Tush! You're a back number, Cappy. They don't cut through the deadwood any more. They run the shaft out over her quarter and hang it on struts." "She'll carry a helm " "She'll not; but if she does, let her. It'll give the helmsman something to do."
In thinking of Toby as she left the house she made a light gesture with her fingers to show that he no longer existed. If she had met him she would have attempted no greeting, for such was her present temper. At the Barrows' she was received with acclamation. Old Perce, who had enjoyed a good deal of four-ale during the day, and had a jugful of it now at his elbow, collapsed at sight of her.
Everard knitted his mouth to intensify a peculiar subdued form of laughter through the nose, in hopeless ridicule of a Frenchman's notions of an Englishman's occupations presumed across Channel to allow of his breaking loose from shooting engagements at a minute's notice, to rush off to a fetid foreign city notorious for mud and mosquitoes, and commence capering and grimacing, pouring forth a jugful of ready-made extravagances, with 'mon fils! mon cher neveu!
Having which thoughts in mind, I answered, "At least we can shoot ourselves with them, and so be safe from death by sacrifice." "Not much we won't shoot ourselves," Young replied, with great energy; "an' nobody's goin' t' come monkeyin' 'round us with sacrifices, either. Why, man alive, we ain't goin' t' stay here not by a jugful! We're goin' t' light right out o' this an' be smack off for home."
"This outfit doesn't happen to belong to old man Packard yet," said Steve coolly. "Does it, Royce?" "Not by a jugful!" answered the blind man joyously. "An' it never will now, Steve! Not now." Blenham looked mystified. Rubbing his skinned knuckles he glared from Steve to Royce, then to the other faces, no less puzzled than his own.
Not a man regretted his coming. Not even old Charlie, after breaking his leg and having to wait for days while two Indians "mushed" southward to the Fort, four hundred miles away, for Father Petrof to come and set it right again. None heard him complain; though some of the "boys" tried to force him to confess that he wished himself back in Dawson. "Not by a jugful!
"I'd be afraid of this horse, and, anyway, I must get out this very minute; yes, I really must. If you hold Nero I can just slip down between the wheels; you needn't help me." Mark alighted notwithstanding her objections, saying gallantly, "I don't miss this pleasure, not by a jugful! Come along! Jump!"
"I was too smart for you." "But you don't know it all," he went on. "You don't know it all not by a jugful." "I know enough to steer clear of you." "Maybe you do." The man evidently did not know what to say, and as a matter of fact, neither did I. I had told him some plain truths, and now I was anxious to get away from him and think out my future course of action.
Judging by appearances, the sentimental side of his character was persistently inclined to betray itself still. Luncheon-time came and Sir Percival did not return. The Count took his friend's place at the table, plaintively devoured the greater part of a fruit tart, submerged under a whole jugful of cream, and explained the full merit of the achievement to us as soon as he had done.
