"Just because I left out some little piece of their cussed red-tape am I a-goin' to be turned out bag and baggage, child, kit, and kaboodle, while fifty big men steal, just plain steal, a thousand acres apiece and there ain't nothing said? Not if I know it!" He talked on. Slowly Bob came to an understanding of the man's position.
"If anybody had robbed you, they'd have taken the whole kit and kaboodle. Did you come out ahead on those monte games?" Johnny blushed, and laughed a little. "I see what you're at, but you're away off there. I just played for small stakes." "And lost a lot of them. I sort of look-out your game. But that's all right. How much did the 'robbers' leave you?"
Then he said the I.W.W. would run the whole Northwest this summer wheat-fields, lumberin', fruit-harvestin', railroadin' the whole kaboodle, an' thet any workman who wouldn't join would git his, all right." "Well, Jerry, what do you think about this organization?" queried Kurt, anxiously. "Not much. It ain't a square deal. I ain't got no belief in them.
Then, as her eye ran over her son's uniform, for he was on leave at the time, she blazed forth, "A'll tell ye what A think o' him. A think that Auld Hornie has his hook intil him and the hale kaboodle o' them. They hae forsaken God and made tae themselves ither gods and the Almichty hae gi'en them ower tae a reprobate mind." But her Canadian Minister's economic positions satisfied her.
"And if the whole kit and kaboodle of ye starved out-right," said he, "it would but be the fulfillin' of the word of the prophet who says, 'So will I send upon you famine and evil beasts, and they shall bereave thee, and pestilence and blood shall pass through thee; and I will bring the sword upon thee. I the Lord have spoken it!" "That's your last word?" inquired Orde.
After the killin' wus all over, he wus the one whut got 'em ter go off thar to the south, the whole kit an' kaboodle. Onct he spoke in English, just a word, er two. Asa cudn't make out whut he sed, but 'twas English, all right." "I don't doubt that. There have always been white renegades among the Sacs and plenty of half-breeds.
Down they go, kit an' kaboodle, twenty feet, bear, dawgs, an' Rocky, slidin', cussin', an' scratchin', ker-plump into ten feet of water in the bed of stream. They all swum out different ways. Nope, he didn't get the bear, but he saved the dawgs. That's Rocky. They's no stoppin' him when his mind's set." It was at the next camp that Linday heard how Rocky had come to be injured.
The latter seemed to be clinging to their tenements as long as possible. "They often cave in," explained the clerk, "and the whole kit and kaboodle comes sailing down into the street. Sometimes it happens at night," he added darkly. "But isn't anybody hurt?" cried Nan. "Lots of 'em," replied the clerk cheerfully "Git dap!" They now executed a flank attack on the "fashionable" quarter of the town.
