That'll mount to a consid'able sum every year, eh?" "It'll amount to so much," said Johnnie, gazing ruefully at his client, "that there'll be the devil to pay. You'll pull every railroad in the state down around your ears." "Let 'em drop." "And I don't know if the law'll hold water even if you got it passed. It's darn-fool legislation, Mr. Baines but some darn-fool legislation sticks.
Wid all the gold an' jewels in Chance Along shared amongst us sure we'd never be needin' to hit another clip o' work so long as we live. Aye, 'twould be easy wid guns in our hands; but we must be quick about it, lads, or the law'll be gittin' there ahead o' us," he concluded.
"They ain't a-goin' to hang nobody, M'lissy," said Lysander confidently, "hangin' has gone out o' fashion. And I don't think it's becomin' fer the fam'ly to interfere, especially the women folks; besides, we don't none of us know nothin' about it, you see. Don't you fret about things you don't know nothin' about. The law'll have to take its course, M'lissy.
Then, if these boys ever git loose, an' do their talkin', folks will remember that ye showed such a lot o' cash on this night, an' the law'll have you caught in yer own steel trap.

Why, there is a threaten to come forward with an assault that happened at the last independence day; but Im not sartain that the law'll take hold ont. There was plaguey hard words passed, but whether they struck or not I havent heard.
"The law'll get him some day." "I think not," replied Selwyn. "You may find him close to the edge of the law, but he never steps over.

"Setting yer cap at the Rays boys," continued Mrs. Garth, "but it'll be all of no use to ye, mark my word. Old Angus never made a will, and the law'll do all the willin', ye'll see." "Don't proddle up yon matter again, woman," said Liza. "And dunnet ye threep me down.
I have been altogether disappointed in that Didenhover." "I expect you have." "What do you suppose he'll do, Mr. Jolly? McGowan, I mean." "I expect he'll do what the law'll let him, Mr. Ringgan; I don't know what'll hinder him."

"The law'll teach that fellow whether he can take other people's property. That boy was bound to me out o' the asylum and I won't stand such impudence, I warn you. Where is he? Where is Pete?
