"Representative citizens, you see. You can sic your bunch onto 'em and get a lot of information. This is Mr. Weary Davidson, Miss Hallman: He's a hayseed that lives out that way and he talks spuds better than anything else. And here's Slim I don't know his right name he raises hogs to a fare-you-well. And this is Percy Perkins" meaning Pink "and he's another successful dryfarmer.
The local storekeeper, however, was keeping me supplied with the luxuries of life such as flour, spuds, tea, sugar, tobacco whilst turkeys and ducks were to be had for the shooting, and kangaroos for the chasing.
'But when I sent Jim after you about the hoe to put the spuds in, you didn't say you wouldn't bring it, she said. I had a few days at home, and entered into the spirit of the thing. When Corny was done, James and I cross-ploughed the land, and got a stump or two, a big log, and some scrub out of the way at the upper end and added nearly an acre, and ploughed that.
Lois asked in a voice as calm as possible. "Oh, from what people are saying. It's known all over the country that he was with Crazy David that night, and that they left the Haven and walked along the road together.

The steamer gets paid a shilling a day, and grubs and berths you accordingly, and you earn your 'bacca money by bumming around the galley and helping the cook peel spuds.

"Don't get wrathful with me.
You're too valuable a man to go into the army and get yourself killed particularly since you can do your share at home. Why, I was just going to write you and give you your orders for patriotic duty. You go back to the ranch, Sam, and get busy. Plant spuds, wheat, oats, barley, corn plant all you can of it. Raise heifers, sheep, hogs, cows, bulls, calves, turkeys everything that can be eaten.

"Oh, Spuds got hold of you and brought you out," Dick explained. Lois at once turned her eyes upon Jasper who was now standing a few feet away.
"Was he alone?" "Oh, no. There was the prettiest girl I ever set eyes on. I tell you Spuds is a lucky fellow to know such a beauty. He's gone up a peg in my estimation since I saw him with her. You should have seen her eyes, especially when she smiled at something her father was saying." "Her father, did you say?" Lois asked.
The old man was in the habit of breakfasting alone in a closet of his own, which was called his dressing-room, but in which he kept no appurtenances for dressing, but in lieu of them a large collection of old spuds and sticks and horse's-bits.
While it is possibly true that a dinner of herbs where love is has a porterhouse, rare, and hashed brown spuds backed clean off the board, I submit, not being in love myself " "What's that?" cried Kitty Wade from the door. "Why, it's a shame!" said Clyde. "He must be starving. It's all Casey's fault, too." "Wouldn't he break away?" asked Wade. "I remember ?" "Harrison!" cried Kitty, warningly.
