"Came at once," replied Dent. "The Professor was known to so many people here." "Well, between me and you, Jim," said Buck in a low voice, "that's just what I've come to talk about. You know the ropes in this country pretty well, and I want your advice." "Been in Burmah twenty-eight years, and spent a good deal of the time shiftin' about here and there," remarked Jim Dent.
'But he had the drink with him, too, an' that was where he failed, like. 'Well, well! Let be how 'twill, the brook was a good friend to Jim. I see it now. I allus did wonder what he was gettin' at when he said that, when I talked to him about shiftin' the stack. "You dunno everythin'," he ses.
Sheer luck. For if you'll pardon my saying it, that youth is a nephew I'm going to be proud of some of these days unless I am " Say, this was gettin' a little too personal for me. I'd been shiftin' around uneasy for a minute or two, and about then I decided it wouldn't be polite to listen any longer. So I make a dash out the side door into the hall, not knowin' just what to do or where to go.
In fact, we had put in the summer looking for such a place and never did find it." "Well, we're going to where there's money plenty of it," said Maizie. "Take me along," pleaded the midget. "I haven't seen 'loose money' since we opened the ticket wagon at Grand Park in April." "What's this, Hulls!" demanded Landy. "Are ye shiftin' pastures?" "I shore am!" replied Hulls emphatically.
"There be a carpse there, sure enough, a carpse driftin' and shiftin' on the floor of the sea. There be those as can't rest, poor sawls, and her'll be mun, her'll be mun, and the sperrit of her is with the burrd." The clumsy boom swung across as we changed our course, and the water ran from us in smooth reaches on either side: the bird flew steadily on. "What will the spirit do?" I said.
Wal, Bill needs to be our 'pres. Then there's the 'general manager. He's the feller wot sets around an' blames most everybody fer everything anyway, an' writes to the noospapers. He's got to have savvee, an' an elegant way o' shiftin' the responsibility o' things on them as can't git back at him. He's got to be a bright lad " "That's Sunny, sure," exclaimed Toby.
"Shiftin' some o' his wracked gold, maybe? But why bes he so sly about it to-night, a-spyin' in on his old grandmother to see if she bes sound asleep or no?"

The question is: How is it to be done without the knowledge of any of the Francesca's people?" "Well, sir," said Simpson, "I don't think as there'll be any great difficulty about that, so far as I'm concerned; and I don't think there need be much with you neither, if you wouldn't mind changing your rig and shiftin' into some togs of mine, so as these chaps of the Francesca, won't recognise you.
And you should see the cute schemes Vee puts over settin' a framed photo so it throws the light in the old girl's eyes, or shiftin' our chairs so she has to stretch her neck to keep track of us. Makes an evenin' call quite an excitin' game; and when we work in a few minutes of hand-holdin', or I get away with a hasty clinch, why, that scores for our side.
Ef we leave one man, how's we gwine ter git wuk wid anodder? An' ef we does, ain't it jest a shiftin' ub han's?
