Oleson dropped off to pour a little oil into the speed-woundings while the tank was filling; and presently the dizzying race began again. For a time all things were propitious. The two trains to be met were found snugly withdrawn on the sidings at Mavero and Agriculta, and the station semaphores beckoned the flying special past at full speed.
He leaned forward, his face turned to Andy with that concentration of attention which means so much more than mere exclamation. "You're sure he said Whittaker?" he asked. His tone and his attitude arrested Andy's cup midway to his mouth. "Sure Whittaker and Oleson. I never heard of the outfit who's this Whittaker person?"
To allow a "mix" was one of the supreme offenses and the herders knew that only necessity ever made Kate overlook it. If new men had been available, both Bunch and Oleson would have received their time checks quickly. Kate had been at the "dodge gate" until she was dizzy.
I think it's outrageous, the prices Oleson & McGuire charge for their meat, and it isn't as if they gave you a good cut either but just any old thing, and I had time to get it, and I stopped in at Mrs. Bogart's to ask about her rheumatism " Carol was watching Uncle Whittier.
She was more interesting, perhaps, but less lovable, and this Bowers felt vaguely. The work that morning went slowly. Bunch and Oleson moved with exasperating deliberation and made stupid blunders. The brunt of the labor fell upon Bowers and Kate, who soon were grimy with dust and perspiration.
Sailors are simple-minded men, as a rule; their mental processes are elemental. They began to mutter that the devil-ship of the Turner line was at her tricks again. That afternoon, going into the forecastle for some of my clothing, I found a curious group. Gathered about the table were Tom, the mulatto cook, a Swede named Oleson, Adams, and Burns of the crew.
One or two of the men were already showing signs of strain. Oleson, the Swede, developed a chill, followed by fever and a mild delirium, and Adams complained of sore throat and nausea. Oleson's illness was genuine enough. Adams I suspected of malingering. He had told the men he would not go up to the crow's-nest again without a revolver, and this I would not permit.
Olaf Oleson will bring his accordion and Mollie will play the organ, when she isn't lookin' after the grub, and a little chap from Frenchtown will bring his fiddle though the French don't mix with the Norwegians much." "Delightful! Mr. Lockhart, that dance will be the feature of our trip, and it's so nice of you to get it up for us.
"With my wife, I'll decide that," replied Nils calmly. "I'll give her what's good for her." Clara made a wry face. "You'll give her the strap, I expect, like old Peter Oleson gave his wife." "When she needs it," said Nils lazily, locking his hands behind his head and squinting up through the leaves of the cherry tree.
"Who are you working for, and what's your object in throwing sheep on Flying U land? There's plenty of range to the north." "I'm workin'," said the herder, "for the Dot outfit. I thought you could read brands." "Don't get sassy I've got a punch or two I haven't used yet. Who owns these woollies?" "Well Whittaker and Oleson, if yuh want to know." "I do."
