And as he gazed, almost sorrowfully, at the land-grabber, he puffed enjoyably at Carey's cigar. Evidently he foresaw a lengthy argument and meant to make himself comfortable before proceeding.
I finished what the Almighty commenced, and the job was worth while. Will you play the game with me, T. Morgan Carey, and get some joy out of life?" The land-grabber the parasite who had lived only to destroy looked up at Bob McGraw. "Would you trust me?" he queried huskily. "I burned your mortgage" said Bob smiling. "I'll think it over friend" Carey replied. "I never do things in a hurry.
He pulled back the lapel of his coat, and the land-grabber saw the butt of a gun nestling under his left arm. From his inner coat pocket Bob drew a cylindrical roll of paper about eight inches long. Carey eyed him scornfully. "This is the city of Los Angeles, my friend, not the open desert at Garlock. A gunplay would be most ill-advised, I assure you."
Brice bit his lip and walked on silently, at which she cast a sidelong glance under her widely spaced heavy lashes and said demurely, "I thought last night it was mighty good for you to stand up for your frien' Yuba Bill, and then, after ye knew who I was, to let the folks see you kinder cottoned to me too.

I've been behaving badly to you, indeed; they told me falsely of you. Misha went on digging. 'But why be desperate? Misha still went on digging, and kept throwing the earth at the money-lender's feet, as though to say, 'Here you are, land-grabber. 'Really, you 're wrong in this. Won't you be pleased to come in to have some lunch, and rest a bit? Misha raised his head. 'So that's it now!
"I get the dollar!" he triumphed. "I TOLD you so! I KNEW she was going to say it! Ain't I a dandy mind reader though? But it is bully for you, Father, because of course, if Mother wouldn't let Kate have it, you'd HAVE to; but if you DID it might make trouble with your paternal land-grabber, and endanger your precious deed that you hope to get in the sweet by-and-by.
It was a strong conditional cause of the war, peculiar as the statement may sound to those born long after the troublesome times of 1774. Pennsylvania accused our royal governor of being a land-grabber and the catspaw or partner of land-speculators. His Lordship was interested in land-speculation and so were many prominent Virginians.
