"From whom?" countered Geneviève. "None of your business, as I can see." He eyed her narrowly. "But my orders is to keep every one nosin' around here without no good raison out of the place and I don't think you're here to rent, nor your friend, neither. Besides, there ain't nothin' to rent." Mrs. Brewster-Smith colored. The insult to her ownership of the premises stung her to resentment.
Then we'd cut a tree and scoop out a canoe, and when the shadders began to stretch go nosin' along the bank, keen and cold and the sun settin' red and not a sound but the dip of the paddle. We'd set the traps seven to a man and at sun-up out again in the canoe, clear and still in the gray of the morning, and find a beaver in every trap." "Nothin' but buffalo now to count on," said the other man.
If any of these here sheriffs or deputies gets nosin' around, you tell 'em how it is. I'll come in when the signs is right, and not before. Tell them not to go huntin' me, neither, but to go ahead and get everything set for a proper trial. I'll send word when I'll be in." Wade chuckled. "They can't arrange a trial without somebody to try, Tom."
"Yes, Grandfather," he said. "Course it's so. It's in this office that you draw your wages." "Yes, Grandfather." "All right. Excuse me for nosin' in, Mr. Fosdick, but I knew the boy wasn't puttin' the thing as plain as it ought to be, and I didn't want you to get the wrong notion. Heave ahead." Fosdick smiled slightly. "All right, Captain," he said. "I get it, I think.
Knowin' it was a case of runnin', I just cut fer this oak, drew the redskins' fire, an' hed 'em arter me quicker 'n you'd say Jack Robinson. I was hopin' you'd be here; but wasn't sure till I'd seen your rifle. Then I kinder got a kink in my leg jest to coax the brutes on." "Three more quiet," said Jonathan Zane. "What now?" "We've headed Legget, an' we'll keep nosin' him off his course.
Why don't a man like you hitch up with Chadron or Hatcher, or one of the good men of this country, and git out from amongst them runts that's nosin' around in the ground for a livin' like a drove of hogs?" "Every man to his liking, Banjo," Macdonald returned, "and I don't like the company you've named."
Nobody had been nosin' around their place, an' if they had, he said, there wasn't anybody there who could hit the side of a barn with a rifle." "It's most mysterious," said Barnes, glancing around the circle of awed faces. "There must have been some one lying in wait for these men, and with a very definite purpose in mind."
I've sent over to Raton to get a man named Ned Ferguson, who's been workin' for Sid Tucker, of the Lazy J. Tucker wrote me quite a while back, tellin' me that this man was plum slick at nosin' out rustlers. He was to come to the Two Diamond two weeks ago. But he ain't showed up, an' I've about concluded that he ain't comin'. An' so I come over to Dry Bottom to find a man."
I must get aboard the Santa Maria. She's leaving now. Come, come!" Glenister laughed, as though there were a humorous touch in her remark, but did not stir. "I'm gettin' awful old an' stiff to run," said Dextry, removing his mackinaw, "but I allow I ain't too old for a little diversion in the way of a rough-house when it comes nosin' around."
I guess you did come in, at that, from Buffalo or Pittsboig or some them Western joints, didn' you?" Kedzie just looked at him. Her big eyes lied for her, and he hastened to say: "Well, scuse me nosin' in on your own business. Tell the landlady what you want to, only tell her it was me sent you. That's as good as a guarantee that she'll have to wait for her money."
