"Nothin' good. There's a settlement by that name; but it's a no-account place." "I s'pose I'll find a doctor?" "I reckon they've got somethin' of the kind hangin' 'round. But are you countin' on draggin' one down to Buffalo Meadows?" "I don't expect to be so lucky.
"Well," said Uncle Ike, after stopping to think a moment, "you might do worse. Do you know, boy, that Bishop Newman, who died recently, did learn a trade? Well, he did. When he was a boy, he seemed to be a no-account sort of a duck, some like you. His parents were poor, and lived in the slums of New York.
"Do you think she expects a no-account boy to go off to America, and with nothing but his head and his hands to accumulate more than £12,500 in three or four years?" asked Sedgwick. "But this is all foolishness, old boy," he continued. "The last half of the money those old men obtained from you can be recovered easily, if not all; if that, after awhile, proves to be the best thing to do.
"A woman may have hard luck in our country because she's sick or poor or married to a no-account; but not because the general opinion of the female sex is so darned low that any loafer who comes along feels that he's got a right to treat her as he pleases." "How you like to argue every point, don't you?" observed Polly. "Were you born like that or did it grow on you? Oh!"
They sat in silence for a while and then Scott saw that the girl had fallen asleep. He smiled as he put more wood on the fire. "Funny that she and I should find each other out of all the world," he meditated. "Just one nice girl and one no-account chap drawn toward each other. Some folks call it Fate. I didn't mean to do it and maybe I'm going to wish I hadn't but just now I'm satisfied."
The judge waved this aside with a fat, deprecating hand. "Oh, in that way! Of course, everybody's somebody every living, breathing soul. But what I'm getting at they'll naturally try to make something out of you, instead of just being kind of a no-account tramp printer." "Ha! Is that so, old small-towner?"
I have relegated my little romance to the garret of no-account things, at least for the present," said Hillard, with an enigmatical smile. He sought his watch. "Make up your mind at once; we have only twenty minutes." "Oh, divine afflatus! And you lay down the chase so readily as this?" Merrihew was scornfully indignant.
I never saw a man from Oregon yit that was worth the powder to blow him up! Half-baked, no-account fakirs, the whole lot of 'em allus a hirin' for somethin' they cain't do! Middle West renegades! Poor white trash! Oregon is the New Jersey of the Pacific coast; it's the Missoury of the West. It ought to be throwed into some other state and its name wiped off the map.
He looked up kind of like he hoped some of us could mention somebody that could have a grudge against that harmless no-account, but of course it warn't no use he HAD us; we couldn't say a word. He noticed that, and he saddened down again, and I never see a face so miserable and so pitiful to see. Tom had a sudden idea, and says: "But hold on! somebody BURIED him. Now who " He shut off sudden.
You oughtn't to feel hard toward me," he quavered, wilting under the unfriendly eyes. "I'd a passed it if there'd been enough to go aroun'." "An' after all we've done fer ye," said Lannigan, "makin' ye Jestice of the Peace to keep ye off the town." "Jedge," said Uncle Bill deliberately, "you're gittin' almost no-account enough to be a Forest Ranger.
