Jimmy pattered down the path to the lighted doorway, delivered his message, and pattered back again toward the gate, wasting no time en route. Halfway to the gate he stopped. Mr. Bartley was standing very close to Dorry in fact, Jimmy was amazed to see him kiss her. Jimmy turned and trotted back to the house. "Shucks!" he exclaimed. "I thought he liked guns and things more'n girls!"
"'The words of his mouth were smoother than butter, he quoted, 'but war was in his heart. That's from Psalms, young man.... Now, it's this way with a trick hoss: a lot depends on whether you know the trick or not.... One thousand!... Shucks! Now I know you want him worse'n I do!"
Persuasion? Shucks! Jermyn thought it was kind of funny to start right off on an ocean trip at a moment's notice and show Nina he didn't care a durn. Crazy notion of humour." He lay back languidly and covered his face with a large silk handkerchief. Barry Craven turned toward his host with amused curiosity in his grey eyes. "Well?" He asked at length.
"Hush!" he said, addressing no one in particular. "Calamity's goin' to claim another victim!" He raised one hand to his lips, making a funnel of it. He was about to shout at the driver, but thought better of the idea and let the hand drop. "Shucks," he said, "I reckon there ain't any real danger. But I expect the boss gasser of the outfit will be gettin' his'n pretty quick now."
Grandmother Do you remember the day she lost her glasses? My, such a commotion! Everybody turned in to hunt for them. Grandmother tramped from one end of the house to the other we all searched upstairs and down with no success. They weren't in either of her sewing baskets, nor in the cook-book in the kitchen. Grandfather said she could use one pair of his gold-bowed ones but shucks!
"Good night...! I'll send some of my crowd along." "Nope, Joe. They'd spot two or more guys. One, they won't even believe in. This is a lone-wolf deal. Besides, it's personal... Shucks I don't even think there's a risk..." There, he knew he exaggerated especially as, huddled up to resemble a small asteroid-fragment, he followed the retreating specks.
Bill beckoned his followers out of range, and missiles began to fly. John laid the glasses down wistfully. Shucks! watching only made him want to join worse than ever. The book was better than that! Dusk came at last, and liberation. As he was returning from the newspaper route, the sight of a familiar figure, in the lighted circle of a street lamp, made him cross over. It was Louise. "'Lo."
"He was seen buying a bottle of port wine in the Silver Dollar saloon this afternoon, and you know his wife is strictly temperance." "Oh, shucks! There's nothin' to that report. I can account for that just as easy as lookin' through a hoop. It's goin' to be wine jelly, after all. I thought maybe it might be calf's-foot, but " he broke off.
I'm not complaining about an empty. That will be rich if I can have the door shut." Upon this she went out to view the cars, Mr. McLean hovering behind her with a devoted, uneasy countenance, and frequently muttering "Shucks!" while the agent and I followed with a lamp, for the dark was come. With our help she mounted into the first car, and then into the next, taking the lamp.
Then she knew he was gloating over her. With an appearance of grave concern, and not a little well-simulated excitement, she approached him during the morning where he was working at the corral fence. She was determined to discover the truth. "I have some bad news for you," she said. "Shucks," he returned, with a grin that almost disarmed her; "you don't say!" "Yes," she continued.
