As for what it means, I would have allowed that any gent who escapes bein' as weak-minded as Thompson's colt an' that cayouse is that imbecile he used tos wim a river to get a drink would hesitate with shame to ask sech questions. "'Ornery' is a word the meanin' whereof is goin' to depend a heap on what you brands with it." This was said like an oracle.
Somebody run in and talked the boy out of it while I was gone, and now we can't get 'em off. He's been tryin' this here new law game that you-all brought in this summer. I've been drunk that's what makes me look so ornery."
But I soon give up that notion for two things: she'd be mad and disgusted at his rascality and ungratefulness for leaving her, and so she'd sell him straight down the river again; and if she didn't, everybody naturally despises an ungrateful nigger, and they'd make Jim feel it all the time, and so he'd feel ornery and disgraced.
An' so with vengeance eatin' at his crim'nal heart he p'ints that bronco's muzzle straight as a bird flies for Wolfville. Whoever do you-all reckon now he wants? Cherokee Hall? Son, you've followed off the wrong waggon track. Silver Phil imagine the turpitoode of sech a ornery wretch! is out for the lovely skelp of Faro Nell who detects him in his ha'r-copper frauds that time.
"Judge Granby is a dog," said I; "yes, a dog." "Why 'dog'?" objected my mother. "Why not simply 'mean man'? I've never known a dog that could equal a man who set out to be 'ornery." "When I think of all the work I've done for him in these three years " "For yourself," she interrupted. "Work you do for others doesn't amount to much unless it's been first and best for yourself."
Andy, riding slowly upon the outskirts of the grazing, blatting band, watched the two confer earnestly together a hundred yards or so away. They seemed to be having some sort of argument; the bug-killer gesticulated with the long stick he carried, and the sheep, while the herders talked, scattered irresponsibly. Andy wondered what made sheepmen so "ornery," particularly herders.
Why, they tellin' me, some folks over ontoe that ther Smoky River, las' fall, they gethered 'bout hate er peck o' sour green crabapples, an' they trade hate o' them ornery things off fer a beef critter 'deed they did. String beans why, law, chile!" "We'll have to think about this garden question some day," said Mary Ellen.
First, continyoos the Colonel, stackin' Harry up mighty scientific with his optic jest showin' over his glass, 'first I allows he's a toad. Not a horned toad, which is a valyooed beast an' has a mission; but one of these yere ornery forms of toads which infests the East.
So I was sort of looking, knowing about where you'd be. Just made it in time. Les and the girl, and that ornery professor-or-whatever, are right here, too still knocked out with a devil-killer. You've been out twenty hours, yourself. I'll fill you in on the news. Just shut up and drink up. Good Earth whiskey a hundred bucks just to shoot a fifth into orbit." Frank gulped and coughed.
A dervish was stumping it along through the Desert, on foot, one blazing hot day, and he had come a thousand miles and was pretty poor, and hungry, and ornery and tired, and along about where we are now he run across a camel-driver with a hundred camels, and asked him for some a'ms. But the cameldriver he asked to be excused. The dervish said: "Don't you own these camels?" "Yes, they're mine."
