The last I seen him was some two years before; then him and his wife and two or three babies was goin' over the country in an old, broken-down wagon. The wheels was held together with wire and ropes, and the canvas top was in rags and tatters; the horses was the poorest, skinniest creatures you ever see, and him and his wife looked off the same piece.
Her voice seemed to steady his straying fancies. "How're the cattle looking?" "Just fine," lied Billy Louise. "You're the skinniest thing I've seen on the ranch. Now do you think you can keep your senses, while I go and pick some nice, good meddy off a sage bush?" "I guess so." Ward spoke drowsily. "Give me some more coffee and I can." "Oh, you're the pesteringest patient!
Miss Minerva's 'bout the skinniest woman they is; when I get married I'm going to pick me out the fattest wife I can find, so when you set in her lap at night for her to rock you to sleep you'll have a soft place to put your head, while she sings to you." "The Major he's mos' plump enough for two," said Billy, taking down the stays and trying to hook them around him.
It might be well if it were cut out; but we know he is joking, for is he not a Cherokee himself?" "Not I. You can't make a mustang out of a broken-down broncho and you can't make a white man out of an Indian." "But you took one of the fairest of our young maidens to your tepee, and " "Fairest young maiden? I took the skinniest rack-a-bones in the tribe. The old hag!
They all think they can look like fashion plates the skinniest and the stoutest alike and there ain't a bit of use tryin' to undeceive 'em. The last thing a woman ever sees straight is her figure." "I can't help feeling," demurred Gabriella, forsaking the moral issue for the argument of mere expediency, "that honesty is good business." "Well, it ain't," retorted Miss Polly sharply.
They howl and bark and keep on howling and barking, until sleep seems impossible. At last, when the wakeful man thinks the row is over, the roosters, the meanest, skinniest, loudest-mouthed roosters in the world, continue the serenade until death seems a welcome, especially the death of the roosters. There is a strange mixture of races at Key West, but the negroes are the most patriotic class.
She snapped a dimpled pink thumb and forefinger at the whole exhibit, made a face at the skinniest one of all, and then sneaked casually into Bill's arms. "Nice, nice," she cooed, patting his mastoid process. "Run along now, and I'll plan my party." "That Boddy woman," remarked Beer, as she dressed Warble; "she is a pest a pill! Wait, Maddum, I beg you! I've only rouged one of your cheeks!"
She slid her arm along the back of the bench and clasped the skinniest of shoulders. "Don't cry!" "It was my first. I'm thirty-eight. I'll never 'ave another. Oh! Why didn't I go in the water?" The face puckered again, and the squeezed-out tears ran down.
We have no more real interest in this work than the skinniest old plug on the job and the Company won't permit us to have. They think they couldn't afford it that it wouldn't be Good Business. 'Get up! 'Whoa! 'Back! 'Move, damn you! and here's your corn and hay. That's all we have to do with it. If you balk and kick, out you go to rustle your own feed. It's a beautiful system for the Company.
I told him that almost the skinniest human being I ever knew had been one of the largest eaters. I was speaking now of John Wesley Bass, the champion raw-egg eater of Massac Precinct, whose triumphant career knew not pause or discomfiture until one day at the McCracken County fair when suddenly tragedy dire impended.
