He went over the original papers with me, and about all he said was, 'Be in Gaston by two o'clock this afternoon, and MacFarlane will give you the hearing in chambers. I went on my knees to the Federative Council to get a train." "You shouldn't have had any trouble there." "I didn't have, after the men understood what was in the wind. Jarl Oleson took me down and brought me back.
"I'm used to being witty for myself. It saves my life." The fiddles struck up a polka, and Nils convulsed Joe Vavrika by leading out Evelina Oleson, the homely schoolteacher. His next partner was a very fat Swedish girl, who, although she was an heiress, had not been asked for the first dance, but had stood against the wall in her tight, high-heeled shoes, nervously fingering a lace handkerchief.
Two revolvers from Oleson and McNamara and one nicked razor from Adams completed the list of weapons we found. The crew submitted willingly. They seemed relieved to have some one to direct them, and the alacrity with which they obeyed my orders showed how they were suffering under the strain of inaction. I went over to Singleton and put my hand on his shoulder. "I'm sorry, Mr.
When he turned inquiringly toward them they saw that he was stoop-shouldered; though not from any deformity, but from sheer, slouching lankness. Dunk gave them a swift, sour look from under his eyebrows and went on. Weary rode straight past the lank man, whom he judged to be Oleson, and overtook Dunk Whittaker himself.
The three of you sail with me, so pack your dunnage. And the one of you that shows up best will take the mate's billet. Captain Oleson doesn't carry a mate, you know.

"I got an option out of Oleson for the ranch and outfit, and all his sheep, at a mighty good figure for the Flying U. The Old Man can do what he likes about it; but ten to one he'll buy him out. That is, Oleson's share, which was two-thirds. I kinda counted on Dunk letting go easy.
She was on board before I dropped the hook in that whale-boat of hers with her gang of Tahiti heathens that big Adamu Adam and the rest. 'Don't drop the anchor, Captain Oleson, she sang out. 'I want you to get under way for Poonga-Poonga. I looked to see if she'd been drinking. What was I to think?
Ericson's friends began to come up to her and tell how lucky she was to get her smart son back again, and please to get him to play his flute. Joe Vavrika, who could still play very well when he forgot that he had rheumatism, caught up a fiddle from Johnny Oleson and played a crazy Bohemian dance tune that set the wheels going. When he dropped the bow every one was ready to dance.
"Come rite on!" snorted Ole. "Aye receeve yu into membership all rite. Yust come on down." "It won't work, Petey," Bangs groaned. Petey kicked his shins as a sign to shut up. "Ole Skjarsen, son of Skjar Oleson, stand up!" he said, sinking his voice another story. Ole got up. It was plain to be seen that he was getting interested.
"I didn't find out much about 'em. The fellow I licked told me that Whittaker and Oleson owned the sheep. He didn't say " "Well by golly!" Shin thrust his head forward belligerently. "Whittaker!
