"The court rules," resumed Dan Anderson, "that this game can't wait for arguments of counsel. Curly, you are a disgrace. You and McKinney ought to skin Doc and the Learned Counsel easy if you had a bit of savvy. Can't you hit that stake?" "I could if you'd let me take a six-shooter or a rope," said Curly. "I ain't fixed for this here tenderfoot game you-all have sprung on me.
"Well, cut loose." "Bud is going to race Hatrack against that magpie horse grazing out there, and throw in a six-shooter if the old gent wins." Sol Flatbush turned and looked at the magpie pony, then at the old man. Suddenly a gleam of intelligence illuminated his face, and he grinned.
For the Lord's sake don't stand there looking at me as if I'm going to swallow you whole! Get somebody on the phone, and then beat it before I cut loose and be the perfectly awful villain you think I am!" Marion took a startled step away from him, turned and came hesitatingly toward him. And as she advanced she smiled a little ostentatiously whimsical smile and touched the butt of her six-shooter.
"Wal, ma soeur she's come to you for help, queeck." Both old men became instantly alert. "You in trouble?" Tom demanded of the girl. "Who's been hurting you, I'd like to know?" Jerry, too, leaned forward, and into his widening eyes came a stormy look. "Sure! Has one of them crawlin' worms got fresh with you, Letty? Say !" He reached up and removed his six-shooter from its nail over his bed.

I'll say this for Louisiana: he could just as well have beefed me complete instead of just shootin' the derringer out of my fist the way he done. Takin' it all together, I'd say he was plumb considerate." "He was a bad man, then?" "Why, no, I wouldn't say he was. He was a rattlesnake with a six-shooter, but, takin' it altogether, he never run wild with it.
A life of slash and dash was just the kind of experience that appealed to a full-blooded rip like Jim Leigh, so that he needed no persuading to take the offer, and adapt himself with fervour to the new conditions, which invested him with the knuckle-duster, the belaying pin, and the six-shooter.
He called Number Two and gave him orders to place a ladder at each of the two windows of Davis's room, and to have a man at the top of each armed. When the men had hurried away, Jones continued: "Here's a pistol for you. It is a six-shooter bull-dog, and will do sure work. Now move on to the stairway; others will join us in a moment. You're sure you know Davis's room?
It is all a trivial example of ordinary observation." "Really, Mr. Kombs, you are the most wonderful man on earth. You are the equal of Gregory, by Jove, you are."
