As it did so, Gideon, glancing forward to the farther mouth of the gulch, saw a strange horseman approaching at a full gallop. He came like a wild gust of wind, leaning over in his seat and slinging his supple lariat above his flapping hat as he came.
Fancy a man who could pay my whole year's salary with five feet of stock slinging hash to ME. Fancy YOU tipping him with a quarter!" "But if HE don't mind it and prefers to continue a waiter why should YOU care? And WE'RE not supposed to know." "That's just it," groaned Tallant. "That's just where the sell comes in. Think how he must chuckle over us! No, sir!
We now filled the shells we had brought with water, and slinging them on a bamboo, proceeded back to the fort. The party who had remained in the fort had made good progress in strengthening it, and we now felt ourselves prepared for the pirates' reception. "We shall have no difficulty in beating them back," I observed to Mr Thudicumb, "with a fort like this for our protection."
I was minding my pots and my kettles, while the Black Watch was slinging lead up on the road into Kimberley. But, faith, if I was one of them, with the choice before me between a glorious death and the having to live in the sound of the bagpipes, I'd mount a Red Cross and take a white flag in my hand and sally forth to be seen and shot by the Boers."

"And here you are, slinging the pure United States around just as though it didn't cost a cent, and you held a mortgage on the whole dictionary! Why, I can't well, well, now!" For once in a way the glib-tongued lad was at a loss just what to say and how to say it. For, after all, this surely was a redskin, and the professor had explicitly warned them against oh, dear! Was it all a dizzy dream?
I beg of you, don't read any newspapers until I tell you all's clear." Enoch smiled. "Why, my dear old chap, I've weathered all sorts of mud slinging!" "But never this particular brand," insisted Charley. "Let's have the papers, Abbott. I'm not afraid of anything Brown can say." Charley grimly handed the papers to the Secretary and returned to the observation platform.
I snored for my very life, and I done it so natural, they were well satisfied; and I being such a big man and heavy to shift, they give up the notion of slinging me into the Irrawaddy and went off still quarrelling. I stayed on without a move out of me for a full hour; then I got up yawning my head off, and walked away with the clue in me hand!" "Is the den in Rangoon?
