With an aggrieved air, akin to that of a crowd at a cricket match when batsmen are playing for a draw, they began to "barrack." They hooted the Three Pointers. They begged them to go home and tuck themselves up in bed. The men on the roof were mostly Irishmen, and it offended them to see what should have been a spirited fight so grossly bungled. "G'wan away home, ye quitters!" roared one.
Yet some electric spark of sympathy seemed to dart between them, these so dissimilar beings. Wat elected to be the spokesman. His voice rose shrilly, as it always did when he was laboring under stress of excitement or emotion. "You won't blame us," he almost squeaked. "Who asked you? Damn it, haven't we consciences of our own? Are we quitters, yellow-bellied Mercutians to quit a pal?
But Tenth Street had a faraway sound and at the word a general groan went up and a score of the procession dropped out. Among these were Rose and Key, who slowed down to a saunter and let the more enthusiastic sweep on by. "I'd rather get some liquor," said Key as they halted and made their way to the sidewalk amid cries of "Shell hole!" and "Quitters!"
All is not gold that's quitters. Old Jack certainly was a gild-edged sport. When it came his time to loosen up he never referred the waiter to an actuary. By and by it got around that he was smiting the rock in the wilderness; and all along Broadway things with cold noses and hot gullets fell in on our trail.
That must be tough business being gay. Don't let it harden your heart as gayety like that could so easily do. And remember you're going on! You're not a quitter. And it's only the quitters stop when they fall down."
"When I begin a row, I stay with it," said Mr. Brewster grimly. "Quitters and I don't pull well together." "Then I'm to tell him 'No'?" "Positively." "Not so positively at all. I shall say, 'No, thank you, in my very nicest way, and say that you're very grateful and appreciative and not at all the growly old bear of a dad that you pretend to be when one doesn't know and love you.
Ninety-five per cent of the men who go into business are "quitters." The very first disappointment sends them scurrying to cover. They begin to look for a "soft snap" away from the firing line. Is it any wonder that so few reach any great success? That there is an enormous lack of appropriation of energy in most men's lives is an undoubted fact.
Looks a little like quitting to me and Holidays aren't usually quitters, you know." He smiled at the boy but Ted did not smile back. The thrust about Holidays and quitters went home. "I suppose it has got to be college again if you say so," he said soberly after a minute. "Thank heaven there are three months ahead clear though first." "To play in?" "Well, yes. Why not?
The men that could rope, the men that could ride, the quitters, the blowhards, the rattleheads, the lazy, the crooked, the slow-witted all were on his map of the country; and as, when he rode the ridges, he memorized each gulch and tree and odd rock, so about camp he tried out his puppets, one by one, to keep his map complete.
Under the circumstance we can't use either. I'm going to turn in. I'm at the end of my rope." Henderson followed Murphy to the door. Oscar Ames forgot to lower his voice. He squared his big shoulders and shouted: "You blame quitters! I ain't ashamed to ask women for ideas if you are. The women got me into this fight and I'll bet they get me out."
