"Reub forgets his words, an' says 'em over, an' balks, an' mires down, an' backs out, an starts fresh, en' it's confusin' to foller him." "I'm glad to see you take so much interest, gentlemen," said I. "Yes, we're apt to see it through," said the barkeeper. And Stuart and I bade them a good-morning.
Kedzie was beginning to imitate the upper dialect already. She who but a twelvemonth past was dividing people into "hicks" and "swells," and whose epithets were "reub" and "classy," was now a generation advanced. Ferriday saw it and raged. One day in discussing the cast of a picture he mentioned the screen-pet Lorraine Melnotte as the man for the principal male role.
He stepped beneath the high, grated window, and Fennell, resting his hands on the lintel, while Reub steadied him from behind, peered out. He made no sound, and finally Perez let him down to the floor. "Could you see much?" asked Reub, but the other did not answer. His gaze was afar off as if the prison walls were no barrier to his eyes, and a smile of rapturous contemplation rested on his face.
They all brightened up and came round me. "Heard my boy speak?" inquired one. "Reub Gadsden's his name." I told him I had heard no speaker thus far; and I mentioned Leola and Guy. "Hope the boy'll give us 'The Jumping Frog' again," said one. "I near bust." "What's the heifer speakin' this trip?" another inquired. "Huh! Her!" said a third.

Among their victims in the category, banished from the State with the penalty of death if they returned to it, were Charles P. Duane, Billy Mulligan, Billy Carr, Reub.
"If you have capital in America, you can have individuality; if you haven't, you can't." His sister, who had not taken part in the talk before, said, demurely: "It seems to me you've got a good deal of individuality, Reub, and you haven't got a great deal of capital, either," and the two young people laughed together.

At the entrance of the Roads he sent the tug forward to help the steerage, and so brought her in and rounded her up as accurately as though she had been a little schooner of two hundred tons.
She tried to recall, and with his assistance finally did discover that she possessed a repertoire of "good old stale ones," consisting of "Coming Thro' the Rye," "Suwanee River," "Annie Laurie" and "Kathleen Mavourneen." She knew many other songs, but either Pat could not play them or Burlingham declared them "above the head of Reub the rotter." "Those five are quite enough," said Burlingham.
But I can't promise. This is a' old cask, and the wood's rotted away about the tap-hole. The husbird of a feller Sam Lawson that ever I should call'n such, now he's dead and gone, poor heart! took me in completely upon the feat of buying this cask. 'Reub, says he 'a always used to call me plain Reub, poor old heart!
