"You've done one big thing. An' it's the thing Bull and I want " "Then why in hell didn't you say it instead of talking notions?" For all the sharpness of his retort, Skert was mollified. Bat shook his head and a shrewd light twinkled in his eyes. "You're a pretty bright boy, Skert," he said. "But you're brightest when you're riled."
He said that he left the fellow on the floor in the bar-room. "Had he come to?" inquired Duane. "Sure. He asked for whisky." "Did he say anything else?" "Not to me. I heard him talkin' to the father of them girls." "You mean Colonel Longstreth?" "I reckon. He sure was some riled, wasn't he? Jest as if I was to blame fer that two-bit of a hold-up!"
"What if the copper-skinned critters attack us I've got my gun handy, and I give you my word there'll be the very old dickens to pay if they start rough-housing it with us," answered the young logger; and it was not in a boastful spirit that he spoke, for Eli usually showed a modest disposition; only he, too, had taken a great fancy to the new chum who had been sent to them by such a freak of fortune, and Cuthbert's intimation that the other must be the victim of oppression rather riled him.
Henry came to live hyeh." I paid no attention. "He was a right elegant Dominicker," he continued. I felt a little riled about the snapping-turtle, and showed no interest in what he was saying, but continued my functions among the hens. This unusual silence of mine seemed to elicit unusual speech from him.
We feeds him and gives him a house, and his belly is ollers full. But then, jist becase he's a black bear, we're ollers a poking him with sticks, and a' course the beast is a kinder riled. He wants to be back to the mountains. He wouldn't have his belly filled, but he'd have his own way. It's jist so with them Southerners."
"Good sakes, ma'am, I'd leave her alone. She'll find out her worrits fast enough." "I don't agree with you, Jane. It seems to me as if the whole of a married woman's bliss consists in this be tidy in your dress, don't answer back, and give your husband a good dinner. That's what I did I repaired Meadowsweet, and I never riled him, and we hadn't a word, no, not a word."
I kind o' told him that wouldn't help the sale any, so he said it could be used fer washin'. Seein' he couldn't sell me any that way neither, he got riled an' give me a present of it, an' said he guessed Sufferin' Creek did use water fer washing gold. Y'see, its price is a dollar an' a ha'f, but, seein' it's kind o' dead stock, you ken have it a present." Bill took it. "It's mine," he said.
"Begged my pardon, like a man and a gentleman and a Christian as he is, dear old fellow! Asked me as a favour to withdraw my resignation, and shook hands." "Well, you have got on his soft side, and no mistake! But what had riled him? Who were your predecessors in iniquity?" "Oh, you haven't heard. Remember Horry Arbuthnot, big dashing fellow in the Cavalry?
Now my wife she purses up her mouth so tight you couldn't stick a pin in it when she's riled. I often say to her, 'Do explode. Open your mouth and let it all out at once. But she says it is not becoming for such as her ter 'explode. But it will come out all the same, only it's like one of yer cold northeast, drizzlin', fizzlin' rain-storms.
Seems like we've covered most of this heah range already." "Huntsville. We have to locate a river crossin'." Drew looked up. "Startin' back, Sarge?" "Heard talk," Wilkins admitted. "Most of the blue bellies in these parts are turnin' lines to aim square at us. We can't take on all of Sherman's bully boys " "Got him riled, though, ain't we? All right."
