I hauled it over here with four of the orneriest mules that ever flapped an ear at white men. It cost me just sixty dollars, all told not counting repairs. And I'm going to ride the sky, and part the clouds like foam " "'And brand each star with the Rolling R, An-d lead the Great Bear ho-ome," Mary V chanted promptly. "Oh, Skyrider, won't you take me along too?
If Castle should get stuck he'll raise an awful howl." Jim grinned: "He'd holler, would he? In course; it might help his business. Yer the orneriest ostrich fur a man of yer keerful eddication! Did you hear thet Boston banker what bought the Cracker-jack from us a-hollerin'? He kept so shet about it, I'll bet, thet you couldn't a-blasted it outer him."
The Little Doctor looked up quickly. She had never before heard of a "long-legged snake" but then, she had not yet made the acquaintance of Whizzer. "Well, maybe you better run 'em into the corral and hold 'em till Shorty sends some one after 'em," suggested the Old Man. "I never c'd run 'em in alone, not with Whizzer in the bunch," objected Slim. "He's the orneriest cayuse in Chouteau County."
"Now a good mule-driver is the littlest, orneriest speck in the human line that's known to the microscope, but when you get a poor one, he'd spoil one of them cholera germs you read about just by contact. The leader of this bunch was worse than the worst; strong on whip-arm, but surprising weak on judgment.
"The orneriest ones of the whole bunch. An', believe me! this is the wo'st crew of dock scrapings I ever set eyes on," growled Tyke. "Ditty did a lot of talking in the boat I watched 'em through my glass. Them six are his close friends, Cap'n Rufe. They've laid their plans " "Holy mackerel!" exclaimed Captain Hamilton. "What are you saying, Tyke?"
Kunnel Pennington gathered together 'bout a hundred o' the poorest, orneriest shakes on the headwaters, an' tuck them off ter jine Sidney Johnson, an' drive the Yankees 'way from Louisville. Everybody said hit wuz the best riddance o' bad rubbish the country 'd ever knowed, and when they wuz gone our chances fur peace seemed better'n ever.
Why, before, he looked like the orneriest old rip that ever was; but now, when he'd take off his new white beaver and make a bow and do a smile, he looked that grand and good and pious that you'd say he had walked right out of the ark, and maybe was old Leviticus himself. Jim cleaned up the canoe, and I got my paddle ready.
Ever know any folks there, George?" "Don't have no mem'ry for 'em, Doctah." "You're lucky again. They're the orneriest, lowest-down, minchin', pinchin', pizen trash that ever tainted the sweet air of Heaven by breathing it, George." "You don' sesso, Doctah Suhtaine, suh." "I do sess precisely so, George. Does the name McQuiggan mean anything to you?" "Don' mean nothin' at-tall to me, Doctah."
We'll dig up all the guns we can find, and catch up the orneriest cayuses in our strings, and have a real, old lynching bee sabe?" "Who yuh goin' t' hang?" asked Slim, apprehensively. "Yuh needn't think I'LL stand for it." "Aw, don't get nervous. There ain't power enough on the ranch t' pull yuh clear of the ground. We ain't going to build no derrick," said Jack, witheringly.
"The three darndest, orneriest, damndest things on earth," said Casey, as if he were intoning a text, "is a Ford, or a goat, or an Injun. You can ask anybody yuh like if that ain't so." Casey was restless, and his restlessness manifested itself in a most unusual pessimism.
