"Cut. And you a writer. It's a literary reference, Gussy. He had a little list and nothing on it would ever be missed." "Oh, yeah," Gusterson remembered, glowering. "As I recall it, all that went on that list was the names of people who were slated to have their heads chopped off by Ko-Ko. Better watch your step, Shorty. It may be a back-handed omen.
He succeeded in getting another and more respectable publisher to take up his next book on a royalty arrangement. This was a surprise to him, and a gratification. His satisfaction did not last long after the book came out. It was mercilessly slated. One paper advised him to read "Hodden;" another said he had plagiarized from that popular writer. The criticisms cut him like a whip.
I'm both bad and dishonest." "Ruby, I wouldn't call you dishonest," returned Neale, bluntly. "Bad yes. And wild! But if you had a chance?" "No," she said. "You're both slated for hell. What's the sense of it?" "I don't see that you're slated for heaven," retorted Ruby. "Wal, I shore say echo," drawled Larry, as he rolled a cigarette. "Pard, you're drunk this heah minnit."

All the time he kept up a run of talk, joking about the wreck and the easy pickings it gave him. "He was disappointed when he failed to find you said he owed you something for gumming his game.
