Ye awt t' be road monkeyin' on th' golden streets, thot's what ye awt to be doin'!" Jackson Hines was righteously indignant, but with the shrewdness of the old man, put the blame partly where it belonged. "I ain't sayin'," he observed judicially, "that this weather ain't hell. It's hell and repeat. But a man sort've got to expec' weather. He looks for it, and he oughta be ready for it.
Danny cried with abrupt conviction. "I'll beat you to death in the ring, my boy you monkeyin' with me this way. Make out the articles, Kelly. Winner take all. Play it up in the sportin' columns. Tell 'em it's a grudge fight. I'll show this fresh kid a few." Kelly's secretary had begun to write, when Danny interrupted. "Hold on!" He turned to Rivera. "Weights?" "Ringside," came the answer.
"I ain' got much use fur dis yer gittin' en ungittin' er salvation," put in Uncle Ish from the table where he was eating a late dinner of Aunt Verbeny's providing. "Dar's too much monkeyin' mixed up wid it fur me. Hit's too much de work er yo' j'ints ter make me b'lieve hit's gwine ter salivate yo' soul.
Having which thoughts in mind, I answered, "At least we can shoot ourselves with them, and so be safe from death by sacrifice." "Not much we won't shoot ourselves," Young replied, with great energy; "an' nobody's goin' t' come monkeyin' 'round us with sacrifices, either. Why, man alive, we ain't goin' t' stay here not by a jugful! We're goin' t' light right out o' this an' be smack off for home."
And if any doggone ole brush-cats or lion or bear come pokin' around this here camp, we'll sure smoke 'em up. And if any of them cow-chasers from the mountain or the Concho starts monkeyin' with our sheep, there's sure goin' to be a cowboy funeral in these parts! You done hired a good man when you hired me!" "We shall see," said Montoya, greatly amused.
"My husband's physical instructor." Miss Trimble turned, and, walking to Jimmy, tapped him meaningly on the chest with her revolver. "Say, this is gett'n interesting! This is where y' 'xplain, y'ng man, how 'twas you happened to be down in this room when th't crook who's just gone was monkeyin' with the safe. L'ks t' me as if you were in with these two."
Your range steer ain't used to seein' a man walkin'. On his pony he's safe nine times out of ten. The other time a range steer will tackle a rider that goes to monkeyin' around him promiscuous. But they have to be taught manners, ma'am the same as human bein's. That scalawag will recognize the rope now, ma'am, the same as a human outlaw will recognize the rope or the law.
She took to followin' me on the range when I rid out, and she got fat and sizable. The boys give up joshin' and got kind of interested. But that ain't what I'm gettin' at. Come one day, about two year after I'd been monkeyin' with learnin' her her lessons, when I thinks to break her to ride. I got shet of the idea of sellin' her and was goin' to keep her myself.
So it don't pay to go monkeyin' around there unless you've got pressin' business." He made a grimace. "It's my opinion that a good many Circle Bar cattle have crossed the crick in them two places never to come back." He swept a hand up the river, indicating the sentinel like buttes that frowned above the bed of the stream.
"Well, if you'd seen us bustin' your old friend Long-street at Snodgrass Hill, you'd seen some hefightin'. We learned him that he wasn't monkeyin' with the Army o' the Potomac, but with fellers that wuz down there for business, and not to wear paper collars and shine their buttons.
