But he ain't got no right of making us miserable because he lost a few measly dollars." "Yo're wrong, son; dead, dead wrong," Buck replied. "He takes his beatings with a grin, an' money never did bother him. No poker game that ever was played could leave a welt on him like the one we all mourn, an' cuss.
Anyhow," he continued seriously, "I didn't hit him hard didn't have to. Just let him go an' shoved him quick." "I'm just naturally going to clean house," muttered the prisoner, sitting up and glaring around. "Untie my han's an' gimme a gun or a club or anything, an' watch yoreselves get licked. Called me a thief! What are you fellers, then? sticking me up an' busting me for a few measly dollars.
But here it's swell and kind of of appropriate," he ended lamely. "And flowers, Mother," Frances took up the tale. "Hedges of fuchsia, real live tall hedges, not measly little potted plants. Geraniums as tall as I am, and ever so many roses and violets. Oh, and we've found some lodgings. You're to see them to-morrow." "Frances!" exclaimed her horrified mother.
"I 'm damned if it ain't that Mexican agin," he exclaimed, angrily. "Now, you get out o' yere; you hear me? I 'm blamed if I kin shoot at no female, but you got in one measly spyin' job on this outfit, an' I 'll not put up with another if I have ter pitch ye out inter the canyon.

"Do ye mean," he observed, "you come back here for that measly dicky-bird?"
Abraham Lincoln is as strong as an ox, but I never thought that anything that diddent wear horns or chew the cud could be so measly dumb. He kin eat as much as Buck, our off-steer, & I declare I don't believe he knows any more.
"That's the stuff. Now, if only that measly fog lifts and we get a trifle nearer, we'll do something for the old flag." The minutes passed slowly. It was heartbreaking work, this waiting and watching, and there was not one of the "Yankee's" crew but would have given a year's pay to have seen the mist lift long enough to bring us within range.
"I don't hear nothin' else, day and night, but 'back home on the Wabash. I've bin on the Wabash, an' I don't want to never see the measly, muddy, agery ditch agin'. Why, they have the ager so bad out there that it shakes the buttons off a man's clothes, the teeth out of his head, the horns off the cows. An' as for milk-sickness." "Shorty!" thundered Si, "stop right there.
The white head went up with a fling of the heavy mane, to perk ears forward at the sound. Then he turned and came towards them at a long, swinging walk that was a joy to behold. "Do you know, I hate the way nature's trimmed down the life of a horse to a few measly years," said Dade.
