She flew into a rage, all the more pitiful because it was impotent, murmured something about the ingratitude of some people "not mentionin' any names, but not exceptin' present company," and swept out of the eating-house; not, however, until she had commenced to cry, thus acknowledging her defeat and humiliation and presenting to San Pasqual that meanest of all mean sights, a mean old maid, in a rage, weeping until her eyes and nose are red.
Hain't no reason for mentionin' that I might want to talk to him, is there? Hain't said so, have I?" "You hain't," said Pliny, at last enlightened as to Scattergood's desire in the matter. "G'-by, Pliny." "G'-by, Scattergood." An hour later Jed Lewis sauntered past the store and stopped. "Pliny Pickett says you want to see me, Scattergood." "Said that, did he? Told you I said I wanted to see you?"
Wall, I got to the Fair ground with no casualities worth mentionin', and I sauntered round there with my faithful umbrell as my only gardeen, and see a sight, and took considerable comfort.
I'll set Hartley to running a concrete mixer, or wheeling bricks when he shows up." But somehow Hartley don't do the homeward crawl quite on schedule. At any rate, old Z. K. was in the office three or four times after that without mentionin' it, and you bet he would have cackled some if Hartley had come back.
"If ye mean by news, laird, what wasna expected, and that, I'm judging, is a correct definition o' news, there's naethin' worth mentionin'. A dozen more Scots have come to get their livin' or their death, as Providence wills, in a foreign army, instead of working their bit o' land on a brae-side in bonnie Scotland.
Gunnin' was all right except for one thing that is, that there wa'n't none wuth mentionin'. "'Ducks are scurser round here than Democrats in a Vermont town-meetin', growled the Cap'n. 'And as for geese! How long has it been since you see a goose, Barzilla? "'Land knows! says I. 'I can remember as fur back as the fust time Washy Sparrow left off workin', but I can't "Brown told us to shut up.

Robertson," said Peter, "broucht the lass to oor hoose, never mentionin Jamie, for he didna ken they war onything til ane anither; and for her, she never said ae word aboot him to Mirran or me." The soutar went to the door, and called Isy. She came, and stood humbly before her old master. "Weel, Isy," said the farmer kindly, "ye gied 's a clever slip yon morning and a gey fricht forbye!
Fine days, however, is scarce in January on that herrin' pond I'll take just another; mentionin' herrin's makes me dry and when you gits 'em they are most always weather-breeders. I went up on to the main royal yard when our side come up at 8 o'clock one mornin' for to sew on the leather on the parral, and it were like a day in May.
"Some folks are one thing, and some are another; but you're in luck, kid. They push a wrecking-car. Now, don't get rattled. Your wheel-base will keep you on the track, and there ain't any curves worth mentionin'. Oh, say! Comanche told me there's one section o' sawedged track that's liable to jounce ye a little.
