'See here, Mr Trent, he said, after a few moments. 'There are some things I can tell you that may be useful to you. I know your record. You are a smart man, and I like dealing with smart men. I don't know if I have that detective sized up right, but he strikes me as a mutt.
'Mebby I am a slugger, and mebby I ain't, but you needn't to get personal about it. Anyhow, I ain't got no aunt. "'The text, says the hoss-faced guy on the platform, 'the text, my brother, is semaphorical. "Toledo couldn't understand that, so I whispers, 'Set down, you mutt! Semaphore is a sign ain't it? Well, he's givin' you the sign talk. Set down and listen.
Only there's no Louise waiting inside. They're a shifty bunch, these independents. Some you can hire for a bank robbing job or a little act with gun play in it, and some you can't. This mutt looked like he'd be up to anything. But when I asks him if he remembers the lady in the evening dress he had aboard last night he just looks stupid and shakes his head.
On the very day before the fight was to come off, the poor mutt who was going against the champion goes and lets a sparring-partner of his own knock him down and fool around with him. With all the newspaper men there too! You probably saw about it in the papers. It made a great story for them. Well, that killed the whole thing.
"That's all right. I seem like a low-down intruder to you. Well, that's all right, too. But what ain't all right is what your mother has set you on to thinking about me. You'd never have thought it yourself. You'd have known better." "What," fiercely, "is that?" "That I'm mutt enough to have a mash on you." The common slangy crassness of it was a kind of shock.
"I can't take you, old fel'!" he explained. "You're such a common-looking mutt. Of course, I know you're white clear through but a lady would laugh at you until she knew you!" Even as he said it his heart accused him of disloyalty. He suddenly changed his mind. "Come on!" he whispered gruffly. "We'll chance our luck together. If you open your head I'll brain you! Wait here a minute."
"Then what's the matter with you and me and the little mutt getting married and starting all over eh?" He leaned over and buried his face with a caressing movement in the hollow of her neck. Rose extinguished her cigarette on the foot of the bed, and, careful of appearances, put the butt in her chatelaine. "I guess you two don't need me any more," she said yawning. "I'm going back home to bed."
Jock took a vacant seat next to Fat Ed Meyers so that he might, in his mind's eye, pick out a particularly choice spot upon which his hard young fist might land if only he had the chance. Breaking up a man's sleep like that, the great big overgrown mutt! "What's your line?" said Ed Meyers, suddenly turning toward Jock. Prompted by some imp "Skirts," answered Jock. "Ladies' petticoats."
That sour-headed bay stud of Henderson's swung his ugly butt under the mare's nose, 'n' just as I'm takin' back so the dog won't kick a leg off her, that mutt of a starter lets 'em go!" "All right, sonny," said the judge. "You rode a nice race when you did get away." "Much obliged, sir.
"Helen says I resemble you in everything but brain power, Senator. I'm a good-looker as a husband, but a poor mutt in Wall Street." They laughed at the conceit. The two men were curiously alike in face and figure, though a close observer like Clancy would have classed them as opposite as the poles in character and temperament. Meiklejohn's features were cast in the stronger mold.
