Half of you guys beat it to the Rancho Seco trailin' Deveny an' his boys, to find out what they're doin'. You're herd-ridin' them if they go to monkeyin' with the Rancho Seco. Slope!" Rogers had hardly ceased speaking when the outfit was on the move.
An' if you come monkeyin, around here again you'll get yours. Now get!" So great was the roar of the storm that they could hear nothing. Billy rolled a cigarette. When he lighted it, they saw the barn was empty. Billy chuckled. "Say, I was so mad I clean forgot my run-around. It's only just beginnin' to tune up again." Saxon made him lie down and receive her soothing ministrations.
Did yer see any piratical humans monkeyin' around my boat last night?" "Why, what d'yer mean, cap'n," sniffled Hi Higgins. "I seen yer tie up here, and there yer boat is now. What d'yer mean by pira-pirawell, them parties yer mentioned? Yer mean some one took it?" "Took it yes, yer hornswoggled longshore lubber!" bellowed the captain.

But how old Peters ever lived this long with Castleton monkeyin' with him is a mighty funny thing. But who's that?" A rap had sounded on my door. My caller had arrived.

One o' the shop 'prentices? Or maybe it's Rank Hallock? Say, what's he doin' monkeyin' round the back shop so much lately? I'm goin' to stay round here till I get a chance to lick that scrub." Broadbent snorted his derision of all mere enginemen. "You rail-pounders'd better get next to Rankin Hallock," he warned.
"Thet thar's ther very feller they wuz talkin' erbout, thet Skip Riley. Now I recolict it, an' ther name o' their sweet-scented aggergation is ther 'Flyin' Demons." "Oh, mercy!
