After some time another shooter arrived behind two white oxen, taking both sides of the road in a sort of big governess cart. Then Boots, who had hunted out a man Monteith, came up in a third dumbie, as their ox carts are called here. These go like anything if you can keep them in the straight, but the oxen are dead set on bolting right or left up any road or compound avenue.
TRUMPETER. See, now! how cleanly the Croat is done Snacks! Master Shooter, and mum's the word. I think your cap is a smartish one. 'Tis a regular swop, as these gents have heard. The above. An Artilleryman. How is this I pray, brother carabineer? Shall we longer stay here, our fingers warming, While the foe in the field around is swarming? SERGEANT. Art thou, indeed, in such hasty fret?
Then came a great, heavy hulk of a man in overalls, with a battered tin pail swinging from his side, whose lurching step bespoke a violent temper. Silvey raised his pea shooter. "Better leave him alone," Sid cautioned. "Can't do anything to us," John scoffed. "Doors are all locked. And how's he going to tell our mothers when he doesn't know who we are?"
"If yer throw in a six-shooter fer odds." "All right, pard, jest ter show yer thet I ain't no shorthorn, I'll go yer. I've got a shooter in my war-bag up ter camp what'll kick ther arm outer yer socket every time yer pulls ther trigger, but she'll send a bullet through a six-inch oak beam." "Anything, so it's odds. I'll go yer. I reckon I could sell it fer a dollar er so."
A big, blustering fellow, well filled with booze, was making himself generally obnoxious, and the village constable approached him kindly and tried to quiet him. Instead of subsiding, the boozer whipped out a big six- shooter and began blazing away at the representative of the peace and dignity of the state.
"Two-gun," sneered a man who stood near the saloon door. "I wonder what he totes them two guns for?" The shooter heard and turned toward the man who had spoken, his lips wreathed satirically. "I reckon he wouldn't shoot nothin' with them," he said, addressing the man who had spoken. Several men laughed. The tall man who had revealed interest before now raised a hand, checking further comment.
"Yes you're very smart," snapped Mitchell; "never mind . This reminds me that I got a chap at a pub to pawn my last suit, while I stopped inside and waited for an old mate to send me a pound; but I kept the shooter, and if he hadn't sent it I'd have been the late John Mitchell long ago." "And sometimes you lower'd out when there wasn't a fire."
I do not mean to assert that it is a better shooter than many others, and still less would I urge any one else to procure one because I like it, but I simply say that its performance is equal to my requirements, and that the whole construction and getting-up of the gun suit my fancy; and the fact that another man dislikes it is no reason why I should discard it.
In such cases the shooter should sit facing nearly full face to the right, as he can, with hardly any perceptible movement of his body fire readily to his left, and he should instruct his man with the second gun to point with his finger in order to indicate the side on which the tiger is approaching.
Strongtharm: he a taciturn man of fifty, a born naturalist and great shooter of wildfowl; she a douce woman, with eyes like beads of jet, and an incurable propensity for mothering and spoiling her neighbours' children. The couple received her kindly, asking few questions.
