I was determined that not forever would I take the say-so of others on every phase of the labor problem. Some things I would experience for myself. Certain it is I cannot know any less than before I started. Could I help knowing at least a bit more? I do know more—I know that I know more!
They had not thought of this greater danger, and the bos'n was desperate in the crisis. "Boys," he pleaded, "are you goin' to let one stranger ball up our game? Are you goin' to start doubtin' me on his say-so?" The men glanced from him to Harrigan. Plainly they were deep in doubt, and the Irishman made his second masterful move.
Nobody cared to argue the matter with him. He showed his broken teeth in a sour grin. "Tha's settled, then," he went on. "It's my say-so. My orders go if there's no objections." His outthrust head, set low on the hunched shoulders, moved from right to left threateningly as his gaze passed from one to another. If there were any objections they were not mentioned aloud.
Bangs this is the third time I've asked him to send me the report of Bartlett & Bangs' export business for the past year. I want it immediately. I am not in my dotage yet. I still have some say-so in the firm. Well, what are you waiting for?" "I was waiting to know if there was anything more, ma'am." "If there had been I would have said so. Tell Hannah to come in as you go out."
"If it's hardware," he said, "that boy can sell it, and I don't care where you put him. He can sell to people who can't speak English, and I believe he could sell to deaf mutes or the blind. He knows the line, and they know he knows it. Why, this very first trip he's sold more goods on his own say-so than on the house brand.
Don't you think for a moment I'm going to weaken. No, sir! You'll sit there with my gun poked in your face just as you've sat for six hours. It's my say-so to-day, sir," Boone retorted, malevolence riding triumph in his voice. Melissy's first impulse was to confront the man, her next to slip away without being discovered and then give the alarm.
"We've shore got our own troubles, an' keepin' her 'll only add to them. I've a hunch. Now you know I ain't often givin' to buckin' your say-so. But this deal ain't tastin' good to me. Thet girl ought to be sent home." "But mebbe there's somethin' in it for us. Her sister 'd pay to git her back." "Wal, I shore hope you'll recollect I offered thet's all," concluded Wilson.
"Well," said Knapp, "the way you handled that Ophir matter was perfectly satisfactory; but I'll tell you that it's on Mrs. Knapp's say-so, as much as on your own doings, that I select you for this job." "I'm much obliged to Mrs. Knapp," I said politely. I was in deep waters. It was plainly unsafe to do anything but drift.
"Now," said Rogers, "those guns are not now in my bag, and you can't find them without my say-so; but, if I put you onto them, will you call it off? Will you let up, and go back reporting that I had escaped? If you get ashore by any means, will you take me with you and turn me loose?" They each looked steadily at Rogers for a moment or two; then Quincy spoke.
"I reckon I see a good many things round hyar," replied Hawe, meaningly. "Well, do you intend to open these boxes upon my say-so?" "No!" retorted Hawe. "It's not my place to meddle with property as come by express an' all accounted fer regular." "You call yourself a sheriff!" exclaimed Stewart, scornfully. "Mebbe you'll think so before long," rejoined Hawe, sullenly. "I'll open them.
