Too weak to want only to hear his watch strike.... Holly! She wouldn't bowl properly. Oh! Pitch them up! Not sneaks!... 'Back her, Two and Bow! He was Two!... Consciousness came once more with a sense of the violet dusk outside, and a rising blood-red crescent moon. His eyes rested on it fascinated; in the long minutes of brain-nothingness it went moving up and up.... "He's going, doctor!"
"The suckers we trimmed gave checks, and I turned 'em into cash as soon as the banks opened. I wasn't any too spry, either. Two of the damned sneaks consulted lawyers as soon as they sobered off, and tried to stop payment on their checks. They're threatening proceedings. You must take the dough away with you, and I don't want a receipt."
And Sam and Archie, I could see, were working over to finish the Aurora's new crew, and would've got 'em, too, but Argand, inside the bar, picks up a bung-starter, sneaks down and gives Sam and Archie a couple of slick taps over the ear, and down they went just slid feet first away from the bar and on to the floor, flat and as they slid Argand reaches over and grabs the turkey out of Sam's hand.
Got into an argument with Sinclair, and, not being armed, he had it out with fists. He was beating up Sinclair pretty bad him being a good deal of a man when Gaspar sneaks up and whangs him on the back of the head with the butt of his Colt. They rode off and left him for dead. But pretty soon he wakes up. He comes on into Sour Creek, rarin' and tearin' and huntin' for revenge.
"Good night, you hell-hounds! Just stick around and see that nothing sneaks up and bites me." He hurled a blazing firebrand among the foremost of the hungry hoard, but these did not retreat merely leaped back, snarling, to lurk in the outer shadows. Bill's sleep was fitful.
And though he sneaks away so silently when he hears anything suspicious, yet when he smells danger he'll go through the forest at a thundering rush, making as much noise as a demented fire-brigade." "Good gracious!" ejaculated Neal and Dol together. "Is the moose ever dangerous, Herb?" asked the former. "I guess he is pretty often.
Wade," he resumed, "we was about sick of putty-heads and sneaks that didn't know enough or didn't dare to make us stand round and bone in. You walked in, b'ilin' over with grit. You took hold as if you belonged here. You made things jump like a two-headed tarrier. All we wanted was a live man, to say, 'Here, boys, all together now! You've got your stint, and I've got mine.
Yesterday I lurked outside this house just as a hungry wolf in cold weather sneaks about a temple where lambs are being sacrificed, only to see her, or at least to hear a word from her lips, for when she speaks it is like the song of nightingales but all in vain.
There is no lack of good cheer; and it is but justice to add, that the less fortunate, providing they are "no sneaks," are allowed a share. At the door, or busily employed among the guests, is mine host, and his female companion: "old cadgers" both, but stalwart, and able to maintain the "respectability" of the house. The visitor passes on, and turns down a lane.
Presently they stepped away for a few minutes and when they came back the Germans sat there contentedly eating oranges. Questioningly the girls looked at their male coworkers and with lifted brows asked: "What does this mean?" "Aw, well! The poor sneaks looked so longingly!" said one of the boys, grinning sheepishly.
