Already the Force was building up the tradition that made them for a generation rulers of half a continent. "Got him." Thus briefly the red-coat dismissed an experience that had taken toll of his vitality greater than five years of civilized existence. "Been back a week. Inspector Crouch sent me here to have a look-see." "At what?
"Who that uses this part of the deck would be apt to insult his palate with such a cigarette? No one of us hardly any one of the officers or stewards." "Some deck-hand might have sneaked aft for a look-see, expecting to find the quarterdeck deserted at this hour." "Even ordinary seamen avoid, when they can, what the Régie sells under the name of tobacco.
As she turned, very puzzled, from the shelf to the table, she saw the cowbird gravely walking about on the white oil-cloth. "Look-see! look-see!" he cried to her, flirting his tail and blinking his eyes. "Look-see! look-see!" She ran to the table and seized him angrily in her hands, certain that he had forsaken his own little pan of water to bathe in the milk.
"Topside man catchee my inside godown this time, ch'hoy! he makee big bobbely." "Never mind about that. I'll pay the fine." "No can do, no can do so-fashion. Massa pay squeeze; all-same, my catchee plenty bobbely, makee my too muchee sick." "I'll take care you don't suffer. Come along: there's no time to lose." "This time Sunday, look-see, massa.

He had been sent across by the French colonel commanding Vologda force, under which this Kodish force had recently been brought. He was the first American field officer that had come to inspect this hard-battered outfit. And his report on their miserable plight had no little influence in bringing them relief.
"We gotta find out what's doin'. Chances are it's nothin' but a coupla bunches of braves with a cargo of redeye aboard, Tom, you an' Brad scout out an' take a look-see. Don't be too venturesome. Soon's you find out what the rumpus is, hot-foot it back and report, y' understand." The big wolfer snapped out directions curtly. There was no more competent wagon boss in the border-land than he.
"Honest, Mex do you expect us to do that? Be cavalier I haven't even got a pistol, right now. Neither has Igor, here. Come look-see... Hi, Frankie!" "Just stay there," Nelsen gruffed. Tiflin cocked his head inside the helmet of a brand-new Archer Six, in a burlesqued pose for inspection. He looked bad. His face had turned hard and lean. There were scars on it.
THE young cowbird, perched tail to windward on a stone beside the road, raised his head, and uttered a hoarse cry of hunger and lonesomeness as a great black flock of his own kind, sweeping by on its way to the grazing herd in the gully, shadowed the ground about him for an instant. "Look-see! look-see!" he called plaintively, rolling his eyes and ruffling his throat; "look-see! look-see!"
Overwhelmed with sorrow, the little girl turned back to where the cattle-gad lay, holding her apron up to her wet eyes as she stumbled miserably along. But just as she flung herself down beside the whip, there came a harsh call from behind her, where the lunch-pail stood. It was the cowbird. "Look-see! look-see!" he cried, pecking at the brown paper that held the gingerbread.
