I says to my pardner I keep hearing one snoop close; and he says forget it, because my hive is swarming or something; and I says no; I will go out there and molest that German.

"The Swede won't trouble you unless this Texan dies. I'll send you word in time if he does." Later a skulking shadow sneaked into the corral and out again. Once out of hearing, it leaped to the back of the horse and galloped wildly into the night. Two horsemen rode into Millikan's Draw and drew up in front of the big ranch house.
You ought to have seen the way they sneaked off when Miss Eleanor spoke to them this morning. They acted just the way I've seen a dog do after it's been whipped."

They probably did feel pretty cheap at first, but when they've had a chance to talk things over, they'll decide that they had the best of us.
As the hunters sneaked, the old bear stopped and sniffed suspiciously; the wind changed, she got an unmistakable whiff; then gave a loud warning "Koff! Koff! Koff!

Men sneaked into the barracks one by one and lay down on the bare cots. "What you want to bet we won't leave this camp for a week yet?" asked someone. At noon they lined up for mess again, ate dismally and hurriedly. As Fuselli was leaving the mess hall tapping a tattoo on his kit with two dirty finger nails, the corporal spoke to him in a low voice. "Be sure to wash yer kit, buddy.
The firm would be ruined if things went on like this. 'You'd better go on with it, he said as he laid down the brush. He began to walk about the house again. He wanted to go away now, but he did not want them to know that he was gone, so he sneaked out of the back door, crept around the house and out of the gate, mounted his bicycle and rode away.
