No, to tell you the truth," here Paula's voice took a deeper note, "every last American of us here in France is hot with humiliation and rage at his country's attitude, monkeying with those baby-killing, woman-raping devils." As she ended, her voice shook with passion, her cheeks were pale, and in her eyes shone two bright tears.
Mushrat Portage had been but recently a willow clump, and a black rock ledge hanging over a precipitous valley: the hand of the Indian could be seen one day parting the leaves of the trail, and on the next, drills came and tins of black powder, and hordes of greedy men, blind with a burning zeal for "monkeying with powder" as our host of Sick Dog said.
"And," thought Dorothy, "I'll take down that hideous portrait over the mantel before I'm a day older." But when she broached the subject to Harlan, she found him unresponsive and somewhat disinclined to interfere with the existing order of things. "We'll be here only for the Summer," he said, "so what's the use of monkeying with the furniture and burning up fifty or sixty beds?
I reckon it's his sign manual to tell other animals who may be skulking around that it's his kill, and that there'll be trouble if any of them go monkeying around it. At any rate, they don't fool with it. They know he's king in these parts. Wherever the grizzly sits is the head of the table." "Are they really as savage as they are cracked up to be?" asked Bert.
Believe me when I tell you, it was the first time I had looked a radiator in the face for a week. Two young fellows were monkeying around the machine, and as they were nice-looking chaps I gave them the furtive glance, and one of them stopped and asked me if he hadn't been introduced to me in the Harlem Casino.
"Who is he?" "Mr. McBurney." "The man whose name is on your letterhead?" "The same." "Great guns! and to think that I've been monkeying all these weeks with a man like you pardon me, brother!" Robert R. McBurney was my friend to the day of his death. Many a time, when out of the pit, I reminded him of the incident.
You remember, father, that I came into camp covered with blood, and that you thought I had been monkeying with a mountain lion." "Ye-es, I recollect the circumstances, but I never heard about the bear and bull episode before. I seem to have sort of a dim notion that you were packing a deer home on your back and fell into a barranca with it and lost it in a mud slough, but perhaps I'm mistaken.
"You've got to give your whole mind to it, and not be monkeying with inventions when you set out to get views. An alarm clock! "Suppose he does perfect it? There are enough on the market now, and I don't believe there's a fortune in any of 'em. He might much better stick to what he set out to learn. Well, it isn't any of my business, I suppose. Joe and I have done all we can."
Wires are watched very closely so that it is hard for an outsider to do any monkeying. Many men understand telegraphy who do not work at the business, and it is for this reason that all the instruments in the bucket shops and stock exchanges are turned so low that no one outside of the operating room can hear a sound.
The first thing they will do will be to suspect the messenger. He will be arrested, and while they are monkeying with him we must get out of the way. I told the poor devil I would write a letter to some paper, I think I said the Globe-Democrat, which would clear him, but we must make ourselves safe first. "Dan, you must get to Leavenworth, find Cook, and have him plant what you have.
