Liedig, the hotel keeper of Yosemite, is the poet and Christian, and that J.M. Hutchings aforesaid is a nobody, a blower, a dead beat, the chief impediment to the interests of Yosemite or, to use a generic term, a scalawag. The fact is that no one can afford in California to take the same route twice, for each one has a glory of its own.
Bromfield had slipped him a fifty-dollar bill and naturally he resented it." Miss Whitford's face bubbled with reminiscent mirth. She looked a question at Clay. "What do you suppose that impudent young scalawag did with the fifty?" "Got drunk on it most likely." "He fed it to his horse. Clary was furious."
"Well, he's one tough scalawag, but I don't aim to give him away right now. Shorty is a whole lot better proposition than Dug Doble." Dave came back to the order of the day. "What do you want me to do now?" The cattleman looked him over. "You damaged much?" "No." "Burnt in the shoulder, I see." "Won't keep me from swinging a sack and bossing a gang." "Wore out, I reckon?"
He was in no way prepared to desert him. He was now going to see Mollenhauer and Simpson as much to save Cowperwood really as the party and his own affairs. And yet a scandal. He did not like that resented it. This young scalawag! To think he should be so sly.
Rather well by sight and reputation, a good-for-nothin' scalawag, as Jim catalogued him, name of Steve Jarrold. The door closed after them and Jim went back to his bench. In the house they were waiting for Gloria.
Darner's young scalawag of a son had told them that Jerry Elbow was to be taken to the poor farm." "Oh, Jerry, you blessed child!" crooned Mother 'Larkey, taking Jerry in her arms. "And you to find it out from some one else when I'd been trying for this week past to get up courage enough to tell you." "Mother!" cried Nora in a shocked voice. "It's true, then?" asked Mr. Phillips.
"Thank you, Mister Johnson, thank you," said Virginia, blushing. "How come she recommembered, Marse Comyn? Dat's de quality. Dat's why. Doan't you talk to Ned 'bout de quality, Marsa." "And when did I ever talk to you about the quality, you scalawag?" asks the Colonel, laughing.
Arp, hastening thither from the station, satchel in hand, could bring it. This was on a September morning, two years after the flight, and Eskew, it appears, had been to the State Fair and had beheld many things strangely affirming his constant testimony that this unhappy world increaseth in sin; strangest of all, his meeting with our vagrant scalawag of Canaan.
From this time forward the order consisted mainly of blacks with enough whites for leaders. In the Black Belt the membership of native whites was discouraged by requiring an oath to the effect that secession was treason. The carpetbagger had found that he could control the Negro without the help of the scalawag.
Kittredge has been ransacking the town for him all day, and up to a couple of hours ago he hadn't found him. What's in the wind?" "I don't know, but I mean to find out. What can you tell me about Gryson more than you have already told me?" "Not very much, I guess. He's a scalawag, of course, but unhappily for all of us he is a scalawag with a pull.
