"She does not care much for stories," said Barker; "but that is not the question. It was evidently a put-up job." "Meaning a preconcerted arrangement," said the Duke. "Yes.

"She did not lie down, then," said the Duke.
Gurney; the whole thing, to me, seemed like a put-up job, and the bench were like children in the hands of that crafty lawyer. I never witnessed a greater exhibition of imbecility than was manifested by both Hubbard and Broban. They appear to have studied law to about the same extent that Sealy has the Bible, and you have an idea of about how much that is." "Yes, Mr. Brown, I have an idea!

You come so quick, I could not. And he ah, le bon Dieu! he gif me no chance. Officair, I beg, I entreat of you, make it real! Struggle, fight, keep on ze constant move.
We all saw it was a put-up job; he was Ricks Wilson's old pal, you know." "But Sandy Kilday wouldn't lie!" cried Ruth. "Well, that's what he did, and worse.

Ruth was leaning forward, with her hands clasped and her lips apart.
"You can turn back them sheep and git off my range!" yelled Creede. "Turn 'em back, I say, or I'll leave my mark on some of you!" "How can I turn 'em back?" argued Swope, throwing out his hands. "They's ninety thousand more behind me, and all headin' through this pass." "You know very well that this is a put-up job," retorted Creede hotly.

There ain't a goin' ter be no lynchin' in Haskell while I'm marshal, unless them rats get me first. But this yere case ain't even that kind. It's a put-up job frum the beginnin' an' Bill Lacy ain't a goin' ter get away with it, as long as I kin either fight er bluff.

"So! they've sprung their mine at last: this is what Senator Duvall was trying to sell us," he said quietly, when he had mastered the purport of Hunnicott's war news. Kent had caught his second wind in the moment of respite, and was settling into the collar in a way to strain the working harness to the breaking point.
