"Ye see, ye're pop'lar with us," Connick went on. "Ye can be as friendly with us as tho we was your brothers, but ye don't want to try any shenanigan trick like dodgin' away. We've been told to take you to Number 7 camp, and to that camp ye're goin'. So understandin' that we'll move. There's a snack waitin' here for us at the carry camp, and then for the uptrail."
Hardly a minute had passed, when out of the shadows that hid the entrance to Beaver Dam, there came slowly a skiff into the clear water. It approached to within fifteen feet of the hidden boys, when they recognized a voice, distinctly saying: "I hope that guy Franklin's ben up to the landin' an' left the note where I tol' him to, an' don't try no shenanigan."
The stern assurance of Conniston's tone seemed to surprise Swinnerton. "Come, come," he said, rather sharply. "What's the use of this shenanigan? Can't I see through clear window-glass? Am I a fool? Oh, I didn't guess, I didn't know that such a man as you were alive; I didn't so much as know your name until yesterday. But know a man named Hapgood?" And his eyes twinkled again. "Yes," bluntly.
I never reelized how much shenanigan it took to tie a bow o' ribbin tell I started experimentin' with this here buggy-whup o' Sonny's. An' he wants it tied thess so. He's a reg'lar Miss Nancy, come to taste. All the boys, nowadays, they seem to think thet ez soon ez they commence to keep company, they must have ribbin bows tied on their buggy-whups an' I reckon it's in accordance, ef anything is.
"Now start your shootin' an' see what'll happen to you," Billy advised menacingly. Saxon felt for Billy's hand and squeezed it proudly. The constable grumbled some threat. "What's that?" Billy demanded sharply. "Ain't you gone yet? Now listen to me, Whiskers. I've put up with all your shenanigan I'm goin' to. Now get out or I'll throw you out.
Though the affairs of Hiram Look had not yet brought him into conflict with the ancient tyrant of Smyrna, Hiram had warmly espoused the cause and the grudge of the Cap'n. "I'll bet a thousand dollars against a jelly-fish's hind leg that he begged the job so as to do you," whispered Sproul. "I ain't been a brother-in-law of his goin' on two years not to know his shenanigan. It's a plot."
"P'raps some can be put off by that bluff," said the man with the swollen nose, "but not me that has travelled. I'm here on business, and I've got the dockyments, and if there's any shenanigan, then some one's got to pay me my expenses, and for wear and tear." He waved a paper. Ward leaped forward and snatched the paper from his grasp.
"We'll fetch Egypt on to-morrow's hitch. Of course, you're going to stick close to me, and you can bet that I'm going to stick close to you till the whack-up has been made. No shenanigan! Now, seeing how far I have gone in doing my part, don't you think it's about time for you to come across?" Vaniman spread his hands. "How can I? Wait till we get to Egypt."
"KINLOCK FALCONER, "Acting Adjutant-General." I remember how this order was received. Every soldier said, "O, shucks; that is all shenanigan," for we knew that we had never met the enemy or fired a gun outside of a little skirmishing.
The old scoundrel didn't want to be seen hadn't expected to be recognised and, when he found you'd followed, planned to fix things so that you'd never tell on him." "But why?" "That's what I'm trying to figure out. There's some sort of shenanigan brewing, or my first name's Peter, the same as yours which I wish it was so.... Be quiet a bit and let me think."
