"Why, I guess so," said Bob, testing the shellac with his finger. "It's getting pretty tacky now; so if we wind the wire on right away the shellac will help to hold it in place when it dries." "Well, start up the old coffee mill, then," said Herb. "If we can get the wire on as slick as we did the paper, it won't be half bad." But the wire was a more difficult thing to work, as they soon found.
"Then here's one, I guess," cried the bold Yankee, combing out his matted locks hastily with his fingers, and sitting up in what he conceived to be a proper position. "Here you are, sir. I'm your man; fix me off slick. Only think! Big Waller in a book a raal book!" He chuckled immensely at the bright prospect of immortality that had suddenly opened up to him.
"If I happen to meet any of them I'll surely tell them what you say." Cap Roche now turned his attention to the table at which Hop was sitting. "So the heathen is showing you something with the cards, eh, boys?" he said, smilingly. "That's right, Cap," answered one of them. "An' he's mighty slick, too." "He is, eh? Well, I'd like to see what he can do."
For both men had seen that Latimer had left his friends at the stable door and was coming slowly toward the bunkhouse. "You'll have to be slick," warned Rogers. "He's comin'. I'll be moseyin' out of the way." He moved slowly from the bench, passed the group of card-players, and walked to the ranchhouse, where he hung the cinch buckle on a nail driven into the wall of the building.
"How was that?" inquired Slim amiably, as Stratton paused. "They wanted the whole hog instead of being contented with their share, and tried two or three times to get this fellow er Brown. When Brown wised up to what was going on he thought at first he'd have to pull out to save his hide. But just in time he doped out a scheme to stop their dirty work, and it sure was a slick one, all right."
"An' the other part on't was," he said, "she an' that young feller of our'n was walkin' together, an' a putty slick pair they made too." "Ain't she purty?" said Mrs. Bixbee. "They don't make 'em no puttier," affirmed David; "an' they was a nice pair. I couldn't help thinkin'," he remarked, "what a nice hitch up they'd make." "Guess the' ain't much chance o' that," she observed.
Do you see those fine lines on the face of the water that branch out like the ribs of a fan. Well, those are little reefs; you want to just miss the ends of them, but run them pretty close. Now look out look out! Don't you crowd that slick, greasy-looking place; there ain't nine feet there; she won't stand it. She begins to smell it; look sharp, I tell you! Oh blazes, there you go!
Then, tappen me on the shoulder, and lookin up and smilin, as he always did when he was pleased with an idee, Sir Samuel Slick would not sound bad, I guess, would it Sam?
"'I guess there was plenty of room for it, sais I, 'onless that neighbourhood has much improved since I knowed it last. "'It's a sweet thing, sais he. 'Have you ever "made profession," Mr. Slick? "'Come, sais I to myself, 'this is cuttin' it rather too fat. I must put a stop to this. This ain't a subject for conversation with such a cheatin', cantin', hippocrytical skunk as this is.
Connecticut Freestone State. Maine Lumber State. These are the Yankees, par excellence; and it is not polite or even civil for a traveller to consider or mention any of the other States as labouring under the idea that they ever could, by any possibility, be considered as Yankees; for, in the South, the word Yankee is almost equivalent to a tin pedlar, a sharp, Sam Slick.
