You-all kin look at mah gun." He held it out with the muzzle toward him. The men crowded about him, examining the cylinder to see if a cartridge had been fired from it, and taking a sniff at the muzzle. "That's right. It ain't been fired," agreed a mountaineer, a puzzled expression appearing on his face. "Did Lum get his'n?" "No.
The other way will wreck public credit. That's what I say. Supposin' some Labour Government takes the notion that soap's bad for the nation? Are they goin' to shut up Port Sunlight? Or good clothes? Or lum hats? There's no end to their daftness if they once start on that track. A lawfu' trade's a lawfu' trade, says I, and it's contrary to public policy to pit it at the mercy of wheen cranks.
"I did," answered Alec; "and I will do yours the same guid turn, gin he worries bairns." "And quite richt, too!" said the sutor's wife. "Lat him gang, Donal. I'll be boun' he's no ane o' them."

"I'd I'd rather not," said Lum, shaking with fright at the idea. "Umph!" said Mr. Ball, looking hard at the lad, with half a mind to make him go.
His crime had been stolen entrance into a house in Thrums by the chimney, with intent to rob; and though this old-fashioned family did not see it, not the least noticeable incident in the scrimmage that followed was the prudence of the canny housewife. When she saw the legs coming down the lum, she rushed to the kail-pot which was on the fire and put on the lid.
"Ah shan't tell you-all!" exclaimed Julie, a challenge snapping in her black eyes. "That is all right, my dear, if you do not wish to speak. How is your friend, Lum Bangs, to-day?"

"'Cause we found him hidin' in the bushes, an' reckoned as mebby he is the feller that shot Lum." "What, Wash?" laughed Emma Dean. "Why, Wash couldn't hit the side of a barn with a shotgun. Besides, he has no revolver, and it was a revolver that fired the shot you refer to." "Let me talk to him," urged Grace.
