Haow Sam'l kin waste so much time in sleep, I can't understand." "I don't think he is asleep," said No. 3. "When I was up-stairs jest now fer my slippers, I heard him kind o' sniffin' inter his piller." The laugh which followed brought the keeper out of the office in his carpet slippers, a patchwork quilt over his shoulders.
Anyway, he goes up." "He's leavin' a little girl," I puts in, "without anyone to look after her." "Most crooks do," says she, sniffin'. "But if you could get the wad back?" says I. "All of it?" says she quick. "Every bean," says I. She leans forward, starin' at me hard and eager. "He'll tell, then?" says she.
Anyway, she wasn't fannin' herself, or sniffin' smellin' salts. I'd noticed her hail a deck steward, and the next I knew she was spoonin' away at half a grapefruit, as calm as you please. Mr. Ellins is indulgin' in a dry smoke. Only Mrs. Mumford, when she finally appears, does justice to the situation. She rolls her eyes, breathes hard, and clutches her crochet bag desperate.
As ye all know, them goats is a mighty curious animal as curious as weemen is an arter runnin' backward an' forrard a bit, an' tossin' up thur heads, an' sniffin' the air, one o' the fattest, a young prong-horn buck, trotted up 'ithin fifty yards o' me. "I jest squinted through the sights, an' afore that goat hed time to wink twice, I hit him plum atween the eyes.
"You'll be all right in a bit," said he, "it comes hard at first. I've seen chaps go clean off their heads sniffin' land after three months of hell and weather. We'll start in a bit, there's no call to hurry, and I'll just take a walk to get the stiffness out of my legs." Off he went, away and away, disappearing beyond a dip in the ground. She knew that he would be away at least half an hour.
He havin' navigated at three fifths power immejit ahead o' me, I wasn't goin' to volunteer any assistance, nor he didn't need it. "'Mong Jew! says 'e, sniffin' round. An' twice more 'Mong Jew! which is pure French. Then he slings 'is 'ammick, nips in, an' coils down. 'Not bad for a Portugee conscript, I says to myself, casts off the tow, abandons him, and reports to 'Op.
"Me and the dog goes into the hut, and I could hear as Toller were fast asleep in his bed. I begins blowin' up the embers in the fire, and when the blaze come the old dog lay down as though he meant goin' to sleep. But I could see as there was somethin' on his mind, for he kept cockin' his nose up, and sniffin' and lookin' round.
I don't want you anywhere on my property if they do come sniffin' round." "I'm right comfortable here," declared McFluke, and lay down upon the bunk. "You'd better go," said Mr. Pooley, softly. "Not unless I get some money first." "So that's the game, is it? Think I'll pay you to drift, huh? How much?" "Oh, about ten thousand." "Is that all?" "Well, say fifteen and not a check, neither."
"I have never heard a man sniff better or louder " "You leave my sniffin' alone an' I'll leave you alone " "I hope you will," said I. "Well, I ain't so sure as I will; you wags your chin too much to please me an' let me tell ye, bold an' p'inted, I don't like the cock o' your eye! So s'pose you stand on your pins "
He had me all wore out all evening long a-hintin' and sniffin' and wearin' that kind of a high-smile 'cause they made so much fuss over you. And then when we got clear in town he come out with it! Said you was too quiet to suit HIM said he couldn't see nothin' TO you! 'Well, I says to myself, 'jest let him go on, jest one more, I says, 'then he gits it. And he did.
