"I don' know wot they'll say, an' I don' care, but I know wot they'll do. They'll take hold o' my hands an' an' Gor-swizzle! I shud oughta know the Sergeant. . . . No more I ain't skeered o' th' Inspector." "But we're still stealing horses, Pete." "Yuh still want me to pay Torrance, the ole sinner, fer horses he knew was stole when he bought 'em?" He frowned.
He lived dirty, an' he died dirty, an' now he's over an' done with the whole dirty game. There's men on board that oughta wish they was as lucky as him. Theirs is still a- coming to 'em." "You mean . . . ?" I queried. "Whatever you want to think I mean," the twisted wretch grinned malevolently into my face. Charles Davis, when I peeped into his iron room, was exuberant.
"Yeh jest oughta heard!" repeated the other, and he arranged himself to tell his tidings. The others made an excited circle. "Well, sir, th' colonel met your lieutenant right by us it was damnedest thing I ever heard an' he ses: 'Ahem! ahem! he ses. 'Mr. Hasbrouck! he ses, 'by th' way, who was that lad what carried th' flag? he ses. There, Flemin', what d' yeh think 'a that?
I know it. A man who backslides on a woman the way I'm goin' to oughta be shot, and if it was anything else anything I'd keep it to myself. But you've got to know. And you can't understand just how rotten it is, either; you haven't ridden in a coach with her during a storm that was blowing the Pacific outa bed, an' you haven't hit the trail with her all the way from Chitina to the Range as I did.
After the mother had, with great difficulty, suppressed the neighbors, she went among them and proclaimed her grief. "May Gawd forgive dat girl," was her continual cry. To attentive ears she recited the whole length and breadth of her woes. "I bringed 'er up deh way a dauter oughta be bringed up an' dis is how she served me! She went teh deh devil deh first chance she got! May Gawd forgive her."
"A feller that'll drink when he's got a wife like that had oughta be hung! "It's me, Arline Hawley!" She raised her voice to its ordinary shrill level. "It ain't just the proper time to make a call, I guess, but it's better late than never. Man, he was took with one of his spells, so I told him I'd come on out and take you back to town. How are you, anyhow?
What's the use uh talking foolish?" "They're going to tackle it, just the same," Andy pointed out patiently. "Well, by golly, if you ain't just lyin' to hear yourself, that there graftin' bunch had oughta be strung up!" "Sure, they had. Nobody's going to argue about that. But seeing we can't do that, the next best thing is to beat them to it.
I am not at liberty to mention anything that I would have occasion to observe while in the presence of Commander Walters or the staff. Therefore, you will please refrain from questioning me any further regarding the contents of these papers!" Roger's jaw dropped. "Why, you human calculator, you were the one who brought it up in the first place! I oughta knock off that big head of yours!"

He's a proper hobo, too, and a land lubber, and don't weigh more'n a hundred pounds, and must be fifty years old, and he's got curvature of the spine, and he's able seaman, if you please, on the Elsinore.
Gee! but you'd oughta seen the scairt look on them women's faces; there was two of 'em an old un an' a skinny-looking long-drink-o'-pump-water. I guess she was a girl. I don't know. Her eyes looked real old. There was only three men in the cabin; the rest was off somewheres. They wasn't looking for anybody to come that time o' day, I guess. One of the men was sick on a bunk in the corner.
