"Tut, tut, now!" says I. "You're the one that's occupyin' the witness stand, you know. You were about to tell why you came." "Was I?" says she. "You might guess that: you've had a man pryin' and snoopin' around my flat for two days." I gawps at her for a second, and then chuckles. "You mean a classy-dressed gent with whiskers?" says I. She nods. "Mr.

One house has been left standin', an' he's been occupyin' it while the big snow's on the groun'. A whole deer is hangin' from the wall, an' he's been settin' thar fur days, eatin' so much an' hevin' such a good time that the fat's hangin' down over his cheeks, an' his whole body is threatenin' to bust right out uv his huntin' shirt."

"I can put the skiff out, get the bark's line, haul it back, an' make it fast on the bitts you two skunks has been occupyin' instead of a prison cell." "Hello! There's another county gone Democratic. Your old man must ha' been to sea once an' told you about it. Them bitts won't hold." "I'll make the towline fast to the mainmast." "That'll hold, I admit.

And inside of ten minutes he swings in, all dolled up elegant with a pink carnation in his buttonhole.

"In England without a doubt, occupyin' that thar comfortable seat of his in the House of Lords, wearin' a gold coronet an' a gold watch an' chain, an' a robe trimmed round with ermine skins; livin' in the grand style with all them high an' mighty aristocratic friends of his; never givin' a thought ter this yer camp here in the wilds of Wyoming, or to Laramie Peak, or to you, or to me."

She'd like it better alone with ye, too be sure o' that!" "Of course I would!" They hadn't seen Angela come in.
