He prevented that move by catching her hands. "Look here, Stella," he blurted out, "it just grinds me to death to see you slaving away in this camp, feeding a lot of roughnecks. Won't you marry me and cut this sort of thing out? We'd be no end good chums."
Banged an' ragged around between decks, neither black nor white too good for the natives an' not good enough for the whites. Princes on their mother's side, they been robbed o' their hereditary rights by a gang o' native roughnecks, while their own father loafs alongshore in San Francisco an' enjoys himself." "Looky here, Scraggs," Mr. McGuffey struck in ominously. "Ain't you said about enough?
It's better to have two strings to your bow. It's a go-it's a straight go, Mr. Druse. Seven foot of Chief Constable ought to have its weight with the roughnecks." A look of hopefulness came into his face. This sage, huge, commanding figure would have a good moral effect on the rude elements of disorder. "I'll have you read the Riot Act instead of doing it myself," added the Mayor.

As I was washing my hands and face in the kitchen I heard Jack making a few remarks to his boarders: "Now don't any you roughnecks forget there's a lady eatin' here from now on, and I'll be damned if there's goin' to be any cussin', either."
"If this war was going to be won by talk, like some fellows in Congress seem to think," Al Torrance once said, "Seven Knott wouldn't have a chance. But it is roughnecks just like him that man the boats and shoot the guns that are going to show Kaiser Bill where he gets off believe me!" Elmvale was a factory town not more than six miles above Seacove.
This bunch of roughnecks rolled a big boulder in the road after they'd passed yesterday, or some time, and it took us three hours to get it out. Had to hook on the trucks, and unload, and cut poles and I don't know what all we didn't have to do to get the thing out so we could pass it.

Yuh wudn't 'member thar was a feller back here chewin' his fingers off worryin' about yuh . . . an' workin' the shart offen his back an' gittin' thin fer the fambly, an' not even a horse to git about. . . . Nobody but a bunch o' roughnecks an' houn's 'poligisin' tuh yuh, Juno, fer callin' them critters houn's. They're c'yutes, that's wot they are.
"Then don't try to be funny with me," declared Ruth earnestly. "I have too good an opinion of all our well-brought-up American boys to which class both Tom and you belong to believe that any of them could be made under any conditions to betray their fellows."
