You take these Nez Perces and they're good Injuns as Injuns go. Smarter'n most, fair lookers, and tolerable clean. Will you look at that infernal pack slippin' again, and right here where there's no chance to fix it! "Say, but I'd like to get my thumb in the eye of the fellow that made these pack-saddles. Too narrow by four inches for any horse not just off grass and rollin' fat.
"It's well enough to preach equality an' what not when you're walking on the opposite side of the road, as Abel would say, but it don't ring true while yo' feet are slippin' an' slidin' over a parlour floor." "Then I shan't go without you. Where you aren't welcome is a place I can stay away from."
Once more she heard Rogers' voice; this time there was a note of savage glee in it: "There's Harlan now, just slippin' off his cayuse in front of Gage's place. 'Drag, eh? Well, there don't seem to be nothin' impedin' his actions anywhere."
"Well, hit wuz quare 'bout Ben, but he stayed roun' heah fer a mont, hidin' in de woods in de daytime, an' slippin' out nights an' gittin' clay ter eat an' water f'om de crick yanker ter drink. De water in dat crick wuz cl'ar in dem days, stidder bein' yallar lak it is now."
"Brag 'll kill him if I leave him here and your grandpa won't let him in." "Grandaddy 'll not be saying anything," whispered Eppie. "Jist be slippin' in by." As they approached the big knotted stick, Miss Gordon, leading Jamie by the hand, passed in ahead of them. Sandy lowered his stick and made a profound bow.
"I am, to tell you the truth, though it isn't the first accident I've had in my airship." They were proceeding toward the house, when there came a cry from Koku, who had fastened a rope about the airship to lower it. "Master! Master!" cried the giant. "The rope am slippin'. Grab the end of it!" "Come on!" cried Tom, quickly, as, turning', he saw the accident about to happen.
And when did I do it?" "While you were doing that war-dance on what was left of my manhandled geography." "Can you arrest a fellow for slippin'?" "Depends on how badly he slips. I'm going to take a chance on arresting you, anyhow." "Gonna take away my six-shooter and handcuff me?" "I'll take your revolver. If necessary, I'll put on the cuffs." Morse looked at him, not without admiration.
"And then," continued Robert, "when we came out, we didn't know which way to go to the tavern, but started roundabout, through fields and over fences, and all, so the show people wouldn't see us. Aunt Corinne was scared. And we stumbled over cows, and dogs barked at us. But we went on till after 'while just as we's slippin' up a back street we met J. D. and the cart, and he was so good!
Some allus goes for it, like the bud-pickers to the red-currant bushes, some slips here an' theer, an' do straightway right 'emselves right 'emselves again an' again. The best life be just a slippin' up an' rightin' over an' over, till a man dies.
Where are the men?" "Forrard, sir, a hangin' over the starboard rail. Thar's somethin' cursedly strange a happenin' in that damn fog. Harwood was the first ter hear the clatter ov en oar slippin' in a rowlock. I thought the feller wus crazy, till I heerd sumthin' also, an' then, sir, while we wus still a listenin' we both caught sound ov a Spanish oath, spoke as plain as if the buck was aboard."
