Kink stopped too, and the farmer and he glared at each other. "You must back down to the next gate," said the farmer. "Back yourself," said Kink. "Your load's lighter than mine." "But it's my land you're on," said the farmer. "It's a public road," said Kink. It looked as though they might stay there for ever, but suddenly the farmer began to laugh. "Why, you're not gipsies," he said.
I suppose there was some kink in Abraham. Poor devil, he's gone to the dogs altogether. He's got some twopenny-halfpenny job in the medical at Alexandria sanitary officer or something like that. I'm told he lives with an ugly old Greek woman and has half a dozen scrofulous kids. The fact is, I suppose, that it's not enough to have brains. The thing that counts is character.

He had recognized the reason of their hesitation and knew the strong racial antagonism held towards the negro and Indian by Mr. Hoover's Southwestern compatriots, and he could not refrain from "rubbing it in."

Kink said that he would stay there, too.
"It's George Mortimer he's in our bank," Alan confided to his sister, as they moved away. "He's all right he's strong as a horse; and I bet Crandal'll have a kink in his neck to-morrow, where George pinched him." "What was it about?" the girl asked. "Crandal was jawing about people who own race horses," the boy answered, evasively. "It's Crandal, the butcher."
I hid behind a rock, watching 'em go past, and I'm durned if my gun didn't go off accidental and plumb ruin one of 'em. Then I looks carefuller and seen it wasn't no feather-duster at all nothing but an Injun. "'What about the other one? "'That's the strangest part, says Kink.

What the sailors call "raindogs" little patches of rainbow are often seen drifting about the heavens in these latitudes, like stained cathedral windows. Kealakekua Bay is a little curve like the last kink of a snail-shell, winding deep into the land, seemingly not more than a mile wide from shore to shore.
At first, remembering the evil deaths of the forty good knights, Gareth was unwilling to spare him; but the Red Knight besought him to have mercy, telling him how, against his will, he had been bound by a vow to make war on Arthur's knights. So Sir Gareth relented, and bade him set forth at once for Kink Kenadon and entreat the King's pardon for his evil past.
