To the regular habitues of the place, White-Eye and his companions were simply "rough-necks" to whom Baxter was showing "the joint." Presently Baxter excused himself and, telling his visitors to make themselves at home, strode back to his office. White-Eye and Pino watched the wheel, while the man with the deformed shoulder and his companion stood watching the faro game.
And after he had heard the story Freet said, looking at Jim keenly: "You know what that kind of carelessness deserves, Manning?" Jim nodded and Freet laughed at his serious face. "Pshaw, boy! Your having gotten together an organization with that sort of motive power would offset worse carelessness than that. Get ready to shove them into the tunnel." So Jim's rough-necks began to open the tunnel.
I don't reckon you'll enjoy herdin' with these rough-necks." Bat's offer was not one to be overlooked by a man in my circumstances, so after supper found me sitting in his kitchen making gloomy forecasts of the future, between cigarettes. Shortly before the moon-faced clock nailed on the wall struck the hour of nine with a great internal whirring, some one tapped lightly on the door.
He said the dam was his thumb-print kind of like the mounds the Injuns left, I guess. People are kind of coupling that speech up now with him when they meet him and they are beginning to have their doubts about his dishonesty. But I don't believe he can get his other idea across on the farmers and rough-necks in time to lick Fleckenstein." "And what is his other idea?" asked Dennis.
It's the party. You always get so excited over parties." Judith considered it a "come-down" to get excited over anything. "Great Scotland! I guess I don't get excited over one of these student parties!" Sylvia repudiated the idea. "All Father's 'favorite students' are such rough-necks. And it makes me tired to have all our freaks come out of their holes when we have company Miss Lindström and Mr.
He is a man you are glad to meet in a saloon if you are in a mood to be there or tearing away at the cliffs of Culebra; but there are other places where he does not seem exactly to fit into the landscape. House 47, I say, was a house of "rough-necks."
Eddie Klemm called, with business-like cordiality: "H'lo, Fatty! Come in. How's your good health? Haven't reformed, have you? Going to join us rough-necks? Come on; I'll teach you to play pool. Won't cost you a cent." "No, I guess I hadn't better. I was just looking for Carl." "Well, well, Fatty, ain't we ree-fined! Why do we guess we hadn't to probably maybe oughtn't to had better?"
Jim tossed his megaphone to the cement engineer and ran to meet the men. "Get back there," he said quietly. The men looked at his face, then turned sheepishly back. Jim picked up a shovel. Iron Skull already was digging like a madman. One of the workmen, who never had ceased digging, snarled to another: "What does he want to let the whole dam go to hell for two nigger rough-necks for?"
"Well, there'll be a dance one of these days next summer in the Town Hall, and maybe you'll meet some of those rough-necks. You'll change your mind about them. Why, I'd sooner dance with a sheep-herder from beyond the bad-lands, or with one of the hands from the oil-fields, than with those Hidden Creek fellows. Horse-thieves and hold-ups and Lord knows what-all they are. No account runaways.
It might be in order for me to suggest that you remove your persons from our camp," finished Elfreda in the same even tone with which she had carried on the conversation throughout. "I'll see whether ye'll go with us or not!" raged the deputy. "Joe!" called Hippy sharply. "If these rough-necks don't go instanter, trim 'em right." "Don't set Henry on them. They might hurt him," called Grace.
