"Dose yaps wid de toad stabbers could hike up on top o' dese cliffs an' make it a case o' 'thence by carriages to Calvary' for ours in about two shakes." "Yes," said the girl, "I'm afraid it's a regular cul-de-sac." "I dunno nothin' about dat," replied the mucker; "but I do know dat if we wants to get out o' here we gotta get a hump on ourselves good an' lively.
"I didn't mean that you must necessarily dress like them; but BE like them act like them talk like them, as Mr. Theriere did, you know. He was a gentleman." "An' I'm not," said Billy. "Oh, I didn't mean THAT," the girl hastened to explain. "Well, whether youse meant it or not, it's so," said the mucker. "I ain't no gent I'm a mucker.
And her wide eyes looked full into the glowing gray ones of the mucker. And each saw in the other's something that held their looks for a full minute. Barbara saw what she had feared, but she saw too something else that gave her a quick, pulsing hope a look of honest love, or could she be mistaken?
You mucker!" hissed Bayliss, now speaking directly to the young left end. This was so palpable that Dick could not well ignore it. Dropping the key back into his pocket, he turned to stare at the two "sorehead" chums. "Eh?" he asked, with a quiet laugh. "Yes; I meant you!" hissed Bayliss. "Oh, well," grinned Dick, "your opinions have never counted for much in the community, have they?"
The mucker sprang to his feet with an oath, and would have bolted for the village had not Theriere laid a detaining hand upon his shoulder. "It is too late, my friend," he said sadly, "to make haste now. We may, if we are cautious, be able to save her life, and later, possibly, avenge her wrong.
Another feature of it was that it was underhanded and that appealed strongly to the mucker. Now, if he could but devise some scheme for double-crossing Theriere the pleasure and profit of the adventure would be tripled. It was this proposition that was occupying his attention when he caught sight of "Bony" Sawyer and "Red" Sanders emerging from the forecastle. Billy Byrne hailed them.
"Look at young Davies makin' an ass of himself over mutton-dressed-as-lamb old enough to be his mother!" "No one can accuse young Cottar of runnin' after women, white or black," the major replied thoughtfully. "But, then, that's the kind that generally goes the worst mucker in the end." "Not Cottar. I've only run across one of his muster before a fellow called Ingles, in South Africa.
He seized Connery by the scruff of his coat, jerked him to his feet, and snarled at him: "Haven't you had enough, you little mucker? You threaten me or Miss Adair again and I'll not leave enough of you to to " He was not apt at phrases, but Connery felt metaphors enough in the size of the fist before his nose. He put up his hands, palms forward, in the ancient gesture of surrender.
Though a stranger to even the taste of liquor, I had an intense craving for it and it seemed as if I had used it all my life. An hour after supper, I lay down on my sodden pile and went to sleep. I was awakened next morning by a Norwegian mucker who was organizing a strike over the incident of the tainted pork.
When the waiter appeared Dodge ordered two ice creams. "Queer what became of the mucker gang," observed Bayliss, after the waiter had departed. "Not a bit queer," retorted Bert. "That was why I wanted to meet you here this morning. I've found out where they are." "How did you find out?" demanded Bayliss. "Do you see this post card?" demanded Bert, laying a card on the table.
