"It's a kinda rusty trick, though, Lone, quittin' without notice and leaving a camp empty." "Elk Spring won't run away," Lone assured him without emotion. "She's been left alone a week or two at a time during roundups. I don't reckon the outfit'll bust up before you get a man down there."
West slammed a big fist on the table so that the inkwell and the pens jumped. "All I got to say is that this new Sunday-school outfit you aim to run won't have no use for a he-man. I'm quittin' you right now." The foreman made the threat as a bluff. He was the most surprised man in Montana when his employer called it quietly, speaking still in the slow, nasal voice of perfect good-nature.
But in a minute or so he gets over it enough to explain that he's noticed Vincent fussin' with his necktie and slickin' his hair back careful before quittin' time. Also that Vincent has taken to gettin' shaved once a week reg'lar now, instead of every month. "And he seemed very nervous when he took away his savings," adds Piddie.
"I used to be runnin' whisky." Then he chuckled softly. "Y'see, that chu'ch has got a hold on me. I'm feelin' that pious I can't bear the thought of runnin' whisky an' I can't bear the thought of other folk runnin' it. No, I'm quittin' that bizness. I'm jest goin' in fer straight buyin' and sellin' inside the law." Fyles was watching the man closely in the dim night light.
I do be tired listenin' to it in the night sometimes." "Sure there's ne'er a dhrop of say-wather nearer us, ma'am, than the place you're after quittin' out of," said Judy Ryan, "it's the quare whillaloo it 'ud have to be risin' before we'd hear it that far."
"On the p'int of your right shoulder, sir. You ain't quittin', Mr. Siward, sir!" anxiously; "that Shotover Cup is easy yours, sir!" eagerly; "Wot's a miss on a old drummer, Mr. Siward? Wot's twice over-shootin' cock, sir, when a blind dropper can see you are the cleanest, fastest, hard-shootin' shot in the null county!"
"The fact is, Torchy, I am writing out my resignation." "What! Quittin'?" says I. "Say, don't you see what a hole that puts you in? Why, it makes you the goat for fair! If you do that you'll need bail inside of forty-eight hours and you won't get it. Look here, Dudley, take my advice and tear that up." "But I can't, Torchy," says he, "really, I can't."
"Because you're not safe here. That gang will make yuh pay somehow for what yuh did." "And if your mother took me in they'd make her pay. You'd maybe lose your job." "I'd find another. I'm thinkin' of quittin' anyhow." "Say, whadya think I am? I'll not go. I can look out for myself." "I don't think they'd get Tim," put in Clay. "I'm goin' to see Collins and have a talk with him."
"Well," said Barnum, "you figure our bill up right now and do not include dinner for any of us, for we are leaving you right now, and will never bring a customer to this house again and never come here to get a passenger nor any one's baggage. In fact, our teams will never come down the hill again to this house, we're quittin'."
Do you wonder I stands gaspin' on the curb until after they've turned the corner? Think of that from Aunty! "Well?" says Mr. Robert, as I blows in about quittin' time. "Any new quotations in sculpture?" "If you think that's a merry jest," says I, "call up Aunty.
