'That young shaver! calls out old Abey, disgusted like. 'Why, 'e's as 'ard as nails. Wot's likely to 'appen to 'im? 'If you was to see the 'andling 'e gets when my mate is in 'is tantrums, I says to old Abey, 'you'd put your bit o' money on 'im cheerful an' willin'. 'Is Alfred Evans such a savage in 'is drink? says old Abey, quite surprised "
"I'd be proud to give you all a snack in the morning." "Suppose we do go and see the kid?" asked Oliver. "I'm curious to know all about the little shaver!" "I'm for it!" Frank exclaimed. "And I'll be the first one there!" Jack put in. "I always liked kids from Washington! No one will molest the camp while we are gone." "I wouldn't leave it alone, if I were you," advised the old lady.
"Now what you are to do is to read off letter by letter what this young shaver in here sends on the wire. You are a tab on him. You understand?" In a trembling voice Jones responded in the affirmative. "And the first one of you who appears to do anything not straight and aboveboard gets daylight through his head," he added, raising his voice for Alex's benefit.
"Well, Ike, what then?" "Oh, there's no more to tell, only that Sir Francis come and a doctor was fetched, and the guv'nor said it would be a warning to them two boys; and young shaver who went down's up at home getting all right, and you've got all right, and that's all."
Even the elbows of his coat and the knees of his trowsers were wide open with ill-concealed laughter. He laughed when he saw me, and laughed more than ever when he heard me "tale Norsk." There was something uncommonly amusing to this little shaver in the cut of a man's jib who could not speak good Norwegian.
He was in a way of learning that without long delay, for ever since he was a little shaver he had had to fight his own way, and sometimes his mother's. He was thirteen when I met him, and most of his time had been put in around the Rag Gang's quarters, along First Avenue and the river front, where that kind of learning was abundant and came cheap. His mother drank.
Meanwhile, I've got a few things to throw into my kit-bag, and as that's over at the Three Desires, perhaps you won't mind coming along and giving me a hand. Then we'll run over to that house at Dalehampton and have a look at the body of that poor little shaver as expeditiously as possible. Will you come?"
You see, you can't ride much when you're young and soft without getting the legs bent some. Why, I was only a three-year-old when I begun. He was a three-year-old, too, fresh-broken. I led him up alongside the fence, clumb to the top rail, and dropped on. He was a pinto, and a real devil at bucking, but I could do anything with him. I reckon he knowed I was only a little shaver.
The gift of silver crossing a palm has other powers besides that of inspiring a fortune-teller. It can inspire a story-teller, as well. "Yes, Sah," he began, "I know jes' how that was, 'cause my gran'pap, he was a porter in de Jamaica Institute, an' when I was a small shaver I used to go wid him in the mornin's when he was sweepin' up, and I used to help him dust de cases. Yes, Sah.
But I suppose there can't be a doubt that she tried her best to catch him, and that the Duke and Duchess and Mistletoe, and old Trefoil, all backed her up. It was a regular plant. The only thing is, it didn't come off." "Look here, young shaver;" this was Mounser Green again; "when you speak of a young lady do you be a little more discreet" "But didn't she do it, Green?"
