The Great Riley agreed with all that Heye said, and marveled with Heye that he had ever tried an amateur. Carl found the dressing-room a hay-dusty hell. But he enjoyed acting in "The Widow's Penny," "Alabama Nell," "The Moonshiner's Daughter," and "The Crook's Revenge" far more than he had enjoyed picking phrases out of Shakespeare at a vaguely remembered Plato.
As soon as I heard the San Francisco postmastership was vacant, I made up my mind to get it and here I am." "Yes," said Riley, slowly, "as you have remarked ... Mr. Lykins ... here you are. And have you got it?" "Well, not exactly GOT it, but the next thing to it.
"I see you got this party all ready for me," said the sheriff more amiably to Riley Sinclair, who was watching in disgust the clumsy method of Jig's mounting. "You're Sinclair, I guess?" "I'm Sinclair, sheriff." They shook hands. "Nice bit of work you done for me, Sinclair, keeping the boys from stringing up Jig, yonder. These here lynchings don't set none too well on the reputation of a sheriff.
"Be a terrible big favor if you'd go out and try to find 'em for me, boys. Where's Joe Stockton?" "Up to the Lewis place." Old Shaw struck in: "You ain't makin' no mistake in picking the best you can get. You'll need 'em for this Riley Sinclair. I've heard tell about him. A pile!" The very best that Woodville and its vicinity could offer, was indeed what the sheriff was selecting.
She had lied to him about Jean's beauty. He believed he would have liked the photo but for Mary. And all for Annie Riley! He hated Annie Riley! He was resolved never to marry her, and he let the girl feel his dislike in no equivocal manner. For a time Annie was tearful and conciliating.
On the day that John and Mary had sold their only bedstead, Mrs. Riley, watching them, had proposed the joint home. The offer had been accepted with an eagerness that showed itself in nervous laughter. Mrs. Riley then took quarters in Prieur street, where John and Mary, for a due consideration, were given a single neatly furnished back room. The bedstead had brought seven dollars.
Riley's brindled back and promptly took fast hold, spitting and clawing and caterwauling. You never saw a more astonished dog than Mr. Riley. With a yell of terror he bolted out to the kitchen, out of the kitchen into the hall, through the hall into the room, and so into the kitchen and round again.
He carried his guard high, with apparent contempt for an attack on his body, after the manner of a practiced boxer. As for Riley Sinclair, boxing was Greek to him. His battles had been those of bullets and sharp steel, or sudden, brutal fracas, where the rule was to strike with the first weapon that came to hand.
Music and supper furnished free. Everybody welcome. Can't Riley drive the chuck-wagon over and have the supper served by a camp-fire? Golly, but I've been hungry for that old chuck-wagon! That would keep all the mess of coffee and sandwiches out of the nice, new schoolhouse." "Who's going to hold their hat in front of the nice, new schoolhouse till it's done and ready?
"Ben Robinson, the proprietor of this show, and Skip Riley, burglar and ex-convict, are one and the same man." "All ready for the big show," cried Kit, riding up to Ted. "When will we begin the sports?" Ted looked over the grand stand, which was built around an arena in which the cowboy sports were to come off.
