Course you understand I'm game for 'most anything if you say so, and 'most anything's what we're liable to get at that Holt shebang. I don't want you to think I've got any personal grudge. When it comes to that I'm ho! ho! well, I'm a good deal in the frame of mind Kenelm Parker was at the revival meetin' some year ago. Kenelm just happened in and took one of the back seats.
John Temple, head of the whole shebang, would have approved this under the circumstances. Perhaps the average clerk would have proposed this; would have suggested hitting this convenient little trail, about as short and prosy as a back alley. All you need on that trail is a typewriter machine. Perhaps Tom Slade was not a good clerk.
I supply the shebang with produce, and I stand in with 'em. They would spread themselves for me. I was counting on having us all three eat in my back-room. I wanted to do exactly the right thing, you see, so she'd know at the outset that I understand how to make a woman comfortable, and that I ain't a man to split hairs when it comes to a little outlay." "The back-room wouldn't suit at all."
I've sunk almost enough money in that shebang to dig a gold mine, and I haven't got any out yet not a cent, and I'm losing interest all the while." "Well, but think of the twenty thousand dollars!" "Yes, I s'pose I've got to. That's the only consolation I have left." The above conversation took place one afternoon between Ezra Larabee and Lieutenant Larson.
"You ought to see the way they're neck-breaking for the marriage-license bureaus since the draft. First thing we know, tine whole shebang of the boys will be claiming the exemption of sole support of wife." "It's a good thing we made up our minds quick, Jimmie. They'll be getting wise. If too many get exemption from the army by marrying right away, it'll be a give-away."
"I ain't a quitter." "He don't know enough to let go," said Mintie. "I could earn good money with my uncle in Los Angeles County. He wants me." Mintie tossed her head. "If he wants you, the sooner you skin outer this the better." "Uncle's well fixed," said Smoky, "and an old bach. He wants a live young man to take aholt with his ranch, and a live young woman to run the shebang. If I was married !"
"I can run this shebang, all right. Go on and see what you can see." "If we are going out to-night," Ned said, after reflection, "we may as well shift the Sea Lion and inspect the bottom over where we saw the apparent elevation." "Yes; that may be the wreck," Jack admitted.
Yet there were people who called the tavern a "shebang" slander as it was against Suzon Charlemagne, which every river-driver and woodsman and habitant who frequented the place would have resented with violence. It was because they thought Charley Steele slandered the girl and the place in his mind, that the river-drivers had sworn they would make it hot for him if he came again.
Go back and git your shoes blacked, put on collars, button up your coats, and come up here lookin' like soldiers, not teamsters on the Tullyhomy mud march." "No," very decisively, to a big-waisted, dark-bearded man; "you can't git no permit here to open no shebang in camp or anywheres near. Too many like you out there now. We're goin' to root 'em all out soon.
Their narrations were picturesque to say the least. "What held you up today, Ed?" "Well," drawled Ed, "a female dude wouldn't keep her mule movin' and that slowed up the whole shebang. I got tired tellin' her to kick him, so I jest throwed a loop round his neck and hitched 'im to my saddle horn. She kept up then." "Make her mad?" "Uh-huh." A pause while he carefully rolled and lighted a cigarette.
