I remember a lot of things now, come to think of it, like the case I was on where a fella named Zianow killed his wife by pouring little pieces of hot lead into her ear, and he would have escaped, but he sold the body to the old county hospital for practicin' purposes, and while they was monkeying with the skull they heard something rattle and when they investigated it was several pieces of lead inside rattling around.
He put in all the fine points, even to the way he came to have a chance at the safe. "If I could only put them back!" says he, sighin'. "What then?" says I. "Next time I s'pose you'd swipe the whole series, wouldn't you?" If you could have heard him tell how good he'd be you'd think practicin' a little crooked work now and then was the only sure way to learn how to keep straight.
Tommie fetched their sundaes in that miraculous way waiters have of carrying cup and saucers heaped up, just as jugglers catch them. "Been practicin'?" inquired Grace glibly. "What for?" asked Tommie, whisking his towel over the table. "Why, for the contest," answered Grace, as if the whole world should know that. "Oh, yes a little," admitted Tommie, gliding off to a new customer.
Didn't hear you till I got most on top of you. You sure got some private shootin'-gallery." Pete led his pony up the steep trail and squatted beside Bailey. "How long you been watching me, Jim?" "Oh, jest since you started shooting under your hoss. What's the idea?" "Nothin', jest practicin'." "You must 'a' been practicin' quite a' spell. You handle that smoke-wagon like an ole-timer."

"You must be very strong a regular athlete," declared Ruth. "Any other boy could do it." "No!" "If he knew how," limited the white-haired boy. "And how did you learn so much!" asked Ruth, curiously. Again the red flushed into his pale face. "Practicin'. That's all," he said, rather doggedly. "Won't you tell us who you are?" asked Ruth, feeling that the boy was keeping up a wall between them.
If we don't, I'll be the sorest feller you can find in seventeen States and seven Territories!" "I don't know where you'd discover so many Territories," laughed Frank. "We'll do our best to beat them, boys; but we're not in good practice, you know." "Begorra, we've been practicin' ivery day for a week!" came from Mulloy. "That sort of practice isn't like regular games," reminded Merry.
So taking a piece of wood and sharpening one end that it might be driven into the ground, he took a piece of charcoal and made on the flat side of the wood a mark for me to shoot at. "Now Willie," said Uncle Kit, "if you ever expect to be a good hunter you must learn to be a good shot, and you can't begin practicin' too soon."
Thar was a boy practicin' at the church next door, and he warn't singin' it right, and Bud he couldn't keep still noway, so he up and sings the soler, and when the man at the orgin hearn him, he fired the boy what was tryin' to sing, and hired Bud in his place.
