It's bad enough havin' to go out and fight Indians without worryin' all the time I'm away about whether anybody back here has had sense enough to keep Martin from starvin' to death. I guess we'd better mosey along up to the drill ground, boys. Martin's got into the bushes by this time, and if I'm any kind of a guesser he ain't dawdlin' along smellin' every spring flower he comes across."
"Why, Mosey, there isn't a mangy cannibal left in the whole of New Guinea that hasn't got a cup and saucer of your providing. You've flooded the market, savee?" Jorgenson stood by, a skeleton at the gaming table. "Because you are a Dutch spy," he said, suddenly, in an awful tone. The agent of the Sphinx mark jumped up in a sudden fury. "Vat? Vat? Shentlemens, you all know me!"
Then whilst Thompson, Mosey, Willoughby and I tailed them toward the tank, Dixon hurried on ahead with his five-gallon oil-drum, in order to replenish it before the water was disturbed; and Price, by Mosey's orders, accompanied him on the same business.
The shepherd tried to speak, but Gibbs, with an oath, roared, "Shut up, I tell you. Shut up. I've been a watchin', an' I know what I know. Fix that there rope, boys, an we'll get through, an' mosey 'long out o' here. Ain't no use to palaver, nohow." A rope was thrown over a limb above their heads, and a man approached the shepherd with the noose. Young Matt struggled desperately.
"Them?" queried Sundown, pointing toward the cañon, "Do they charge anything to see it?" "Well, seein' they been dead about a thousand years, I reckon not." "A thousand years! Huh! I ain't scared of no Injuns a thousand years old. How far is it to them picture-things?" "'Bout three mile. You can take a hoss and mosey over if you like. "Any snakes over there?" "Comf'table thick.
Mason nodded thoughtfully, his mouth puckered. "It's him, and half a dozen other fellers of the same stripe, who are kickin' up all this fracas. The most of 'em are yonder now, an' if it wus n't fer leavin' a prisoner unprotected, darn me if I wud n't like to mosey right down thar an' pound a little hoss sense into thet bunch o' cattle.
It was Mosey Price; and he told me" &c., &c. Stewart sighed, glanced toward the south-east, produced a cigar-case, took thence three cigars, handed one to me and another to Mungo Park lit the third himself, then smoked listlessly and mechanically. "Good," he remarked, throwing away the inch-long stump of his cigar, and gathering his reins. "What's your name?" he continued, turning to the swagman.
Price's second team was driven by his son Mosey, a tight little fellow, whose body was about five-and-twenty, but whose head, according to the ancient adage, had worn out many a good pair of shoulders. Willoughby, who was travelling loose with Thompson and Cooper, was a whaler.
Lying on the edge of the cliff, the man sliced off the top of the cactus, and began jabbing into its interior, breaking down the fibrous walls of the water-cells, of which the top-heavy plant is almost entirely composed. In a few moments he arose. "Now I can empty my canteen in the coffee-pot, sure of a fresh supply of water by the time I am ready to mosey along."
The other fellows pursued their work in awe-stricken silence, till at length Cooper, glancing toward the ram-paddock, said deprecatingly: " it, man, don't swear; not now, anyway. Git that spare rope off o' my wagon, an' foller me quick." He brought his yoked bullocks through the gap, and drove them rapidly to the spot indicated by Mosey.
