"See here, Hank," Bill's voice was modified and conciliatory. "I ain't callin' you a sucker, and I ain't sayin' you'll peach. What's the use of us fellers fightin' about it? We're in this together and we're pardners. We've got to hang together. What's the use of us fallin' out?"

The chance slipping of a pick, a missed stroke with a hammer, any one of a thousand trivial accidents, and the words of the prophecy would come to pass he would be killed before his time.

"Keep on your shirt, Nick, keep on your shirt.

"You're aimin' to come back in the spring and go pardners with her on the sheep deal, ain't you, Duke?" "I don't expect I'll ever come back, Taterleg." "Well," said Taterleg abstractedly, "I don't know."
"De ladies and genmen will please choose pardners for de minuet," said Brutus. The choosing had been already done; the partners were as they had been.

I didn't really believe, if he run, he would run clear to Washington. And yet, when my mind roamed on some public men, and how fur they run, I would groan, and hurry up my preparations.
It's the big ha! ha! for you an' me, Smoke. We won't never dast show our faces again in Dawson."
