I've always wanted to die in bed, while he's been a killer all his life and the smoke hangs forever in his eyes. Only for an accident we might have lived here all our days and never had a 'run-in, which makes me wonder if I hadn't better let things go on as they are." "Kill him!
Then she realized that he had halted the horses; saw that he had turned in his seat and was watching something to the rear of them intently. "We're out of range," she heard him say, speaking to her father. "What's wrong?" This was her father's voice. "Dakota an' Blanca are havin' a run-in," announced the driver. "Dakota's give Blanca till sundown to get out of town.
"Then there can't be so much myst'ry about this note, then," says I. "Maybe he's willed us a trinket or so. Friend of yours too, I expect?" J. Bayard almost grins at that. "I have no good reason to doubt," says he, "that Pyramid Gordon hated me quite as thoroughly and actively as I disliked him." "He was good at that too," says I. "Had a little run-in with him, did you?"
There's one thing that's rather badly on my mind. I took advantage of Mr. Harz with this damned pitifulness of mine. You've a right to look at me as I've seen you sometimes when you thought I was asleep. If I hadn't been ill he'd never have left you. I don't blame you, Chris not I! You love me? I know that, my dear. But one's alone when it comes to the run-in. Don't cry!
"I'll put it up to the board," says I. "If they say Ah, here comes Doc Fosdick and Meyers the grocer now." They don't appear arm in arm. In fact, at the last session they'd had a hot run-in; so now they takes chairs on opposite sides of the room and glares at each other hostile. A thin, nervous little dyspeptic, Doc Fosdick is; while Meyers is bull necked and red faced.
"Some line-up, I'd say!" "Old Johnny is certainly your man," Peter chuckled. "How do he and the sky pilot hit it off?" "It's too early to say. By the way, did you have a run-in with Scott?" "Not at all. Scott said Elijah was welcome to use the trail if he kept to it." Doug's mouth opened and closed. He took a letter from his pocket and laid a pile of bills beside it on the table.
But I don't believe he'll have to.... Now, about those contracts " he affected a yawn, " go on and tell him, Guilder," he added, his words distorted by another yawn. He stepped down to the floor from his perch on the table, stretched his arms, looking affably all the while at Graylock, who had never moved a muscle. "I believe you had a run-in with that Cecile girl once, didn't you, Graylock?
"That's how I sized it," said Fraser, wagging his head with animation, "I knew you'd had some kind of a run-in. What was it? This is low down, see, and confidential, as between two crooks. I'll never snitch." "Hold on there! I'm not a crook. I'm not sufficiently ingenious to be a member of your honorable profession." "Well, I guess my profession is as honorable as most.
Thought maybe you'd like to know he's here. It's not likely he'll trouble you." "I'd be glad to be sure of that. Dud an' I had a little run-in with him last month. He wasn't hardly in a position then to rip loose, seein' as he had my horse an' saddle in his camp an' didn't want Harshaw in his wool. So he cussed us out an' let it go at that. Different now.
The Laird wouldn't permit it after all these years." "If it comes to a test of strength, I'll lose, and don't you forget it. Old sake's sake is all that saved me from a run-in with Donald before he had been in command fifteen minutes. I refer to that Sawdust Pile episode. You dissuaded me from doing my duty in that matter, Mary, and my laxity was not pleasing to Donald. I don't blame him a whit."
