Ben an' me's goin' t' be out t' Golconda, where I've got a crew o' men at work. You may 'a' heerd I bought Golconda a few weeks ago, an' I'm goin' t' mine there this season. Sold my ground over t' Marshall t' a New York Syndicate that was nosin' round pretty sharp before I left; and it's give me money enough t' take up this here property.
He's gettin' wise pretty quick." "Euchre, you're going with me?" queried Duane, suddenly divining the truth. "Wal, I reckon. Either to hell or safe over the mountain! I wisht I was a gun-fighter. I hate to leave here without takin' a peg at Jackrabbit Benson. Now, Buck, you do some hard figgerin' while I go nosin' round. It's pretty early, which 's all the better."
"Well," said Dade, "I was walkin' round the stable a while ago, just nosin' around without any purpose, an' walkin' slow. When I got to the corner, not makin' any noise, I saw Calumet standin' in front of the stable door, talkin'. There was nobody around him nothin' but Blackleg, an' so I reckon he was talkin' to Blackleg. Sure enough he was.
There ain't no use huntin' fer her, I know, but I jest can't help nosin' around a little. Mebby I can git some track of her. I'd give all I got in this world to know that she's safe an' sound, no matter if I never see her ag'in."

"I ain't fergittin' it. There's too much nosin' round Kentwood district by the women, George. Too much talkin'. Ye'd better call that off right now. Property owners down there is satisfied, an' they got their rights, ye know." "I suppose you know what the conditions down there are?"
The maternal glance that greeted her was cold and withering. "I knew if I couldn't hold her she'd get him away. That's why I didn't go and play lotto with the ladies." "Well, I couldn't help it, could I? You're always nosin' after me so anybody could say you want me and not be lyin'." "That's the thanks I get for tryin' to do the right thing by my children.
"Do ye think I mane to let the fly cops put their darbies on me, that I should be nosin' around in the broad day?" "You're too fly for them, I see," said the bar-keeper, with a sagacious shake of his head. "You an' Barney are a pair." "Barney? Ye mane the Irish lad that was just here a bit ago?" "The same. He's square. He's one of you."
But Sanderson lightened their disappointment by entrusting them with a new responsibility. "You fellows go back to the Double A an' hang around," he told them. "I don't care whether you do a lick of work or not. Stick close to the house an' keep an eye on Mary Bransford. If Dale, or any of his gang, come nosin' around, bore them, plenty!
Gibney sprang up on the bridge at once, the latter with Scraggs's long glass up to his eye. "She was hove to under the lee of the island, and the minute we came out of the harbour and turned south she come nosin' after us," said the mate. "Hum!" muttered Mr. Gibney. "Gasoline schooner. Two masts and baldheaded. About a hundred and twenty ton, I should say, and showin' a pretty pair of heels.
I'm all right," Al was saying in a weak, whining voice, his face twisted up by pain. "What's the matter?" cried Andrews, putting down a large bundle. "Slippery's seen a M. P. nosin' around in front of the gin mill." "Good God!" "They've beat it.... The trouble is Al's too sick.... Honest to gawd, Ah'll stay with you, Al."
