Too bad about old Al," replied Dale. "Sure is. He's done for. An' I'm sorry though Al's never been square " "Beasley," interrupted Dale, quickly, "you can't say that to me. Al Auchincloss always was the whitest an' squarest man in this sheep country." Beasley gave Dale a fleeting, dark glance. "Dale, what you think ain't goin' to influence feelin' on this range," returned Beasley, deliberately.
My God, is that life? Stevenson opined that this man had in him the making of a traveler of the right sort; he might have gone to Africa or to the Indies after Drake. 'But it is an evil age for the gipsily inclined among men. He who can sit squarest on a three-legged stool, he it is who has the wealth and glory.
I won't belong to any Court that Hester Corey is queen of!" Marjorie sighed. What could she do with this intractable boy? And, she almost knew that King would feel the same way. Perhaps, if she could win Tom over to her way of thinking, King might be more easily influenced. "Tom," she began, "don't you like me?" "Yes, I do. You're the squarest girl I ever knew."

It was quite bad enough for Tom Abbott and Judge Lawton...but for his sister... "It's this way, Alexina.

Well, I took one drink with him an' I told him the straight o' that cattle ring an' how Jim Jimison had surrendered on account o' the best little girl that walked, an' that he was the all around squarest boy the' was. I didn't cork up any natural eloquence I happened to have, an' I was some sorry 'at ol' Hammy couldn't have heard that plea. It was dramatic, an' I'll bet money on it.
You are the squarest, pluckiest fighter I've ever known. But you can't do a thing! You can't get anywhere! You're wasting the best years of your life mouthing up here in the Mountains at the moon; and who of all the public you are fighting for, my boy, who of all the public gives one damn for right or wrong? If we turn you down, who is going to raise a finger for you? Answer that my boy!

She had just returned from Spithead, where there were twenty or thirty ships of war, called a fleet, lying under command of Lord Howe. It was on the 29th of August, 1782.
"How did you manage it?" "Her mother had left a little fortune, about twenty-five thousand twelve or fifteen hundred a year. I turned the money and the girl over to my best pal and the squarest pal a man ever had the only one I'd let know about my Jersey life. I told him what to do. She was an awfully bright little thing; at a year and a half, when I saw her last, she was already talking.
On the 20th we reach Rocky Thomas's justly celebrated station at 5 in the morning, and have a breakfast of hashed black-tailed deer, antelope steaks, ham, boiled bear, honey, eggs, coffee, tea, and cream.
