"Better die fighting than be slain like squealin' rats." "Recapture the ship ere Ned Rackham casts the dice," said Jack. "But it means playing the hazard in the midst of this storm. How can it be done? A forlorn venture. It can but fail." "You are as good as dead if you don't," was Joe's sensible verdict. Jack Cockrell forgot his wretched qualms of mind and body.
He's a flashy proposition, this young Mr. Bennett is, havin' an interest in a curb brokerage firm that rents window space on Broad-st. and has desk room down on William. Let him tell it, though, and, providin' some of his deals go through, he's goin' to have Morgan squealin' for help before the year is out.
Cattle-rustlers is mostly men. Mebbe they're low-down, murderin' pirates, but they're men as us folks understands men. They ain't allus skunkin' behind Bible trac's 'cos they're scairt to git out in the open. They're allus ready to put up a gamble, with their lives for the pot. An' when they gits it I guess they're sure ready to take their med'cine wi'out squealin'. Which needs grit an' nerve.
It is very rheumatic weather, I'm afraid." "I'm as well as can be since your Ladyship gave me the beautiful boarded floor to my little place, may the Lord reward you! Squealin' and scurryin' I do hear the rats under the floor, but I'm not afraid now that they'll bite my nose off when I fall asleep." "I wish I could make it more comfortable for you. Lizzie.
"Here I go to work an' make a fortune for a pair of short sports an' pikers an' you get to squealin' at the first five-hundred-dollar loss. I know you of old, Phineas Scraggs, an' the leopard can't change his spots." He raised his right hand to heaven. "I'm through for keeps. We'll sell the pearls to-day, divvy up, an' dissolve. I'm through." "Glad of it," growled McGuffey.
"What!" says she, squealin' it out like I'd said the house was afire. "Not the brother of that that Morgan girl?" "Ask him," says I. "You're a star at that." Then I takes a peek at Bill. And say, I was almost sorry I'd done it. For a party that'd just broke jail, he could stand the least I ever saw. He looks as mixed up and helpless as a lady that's took a seat in the smokin' car by mistake.
In the first place the whole herd of peccaries began to snap and grunt laik fury till the noise of the cyclone simmahd down into a sort of pitiful whine, laik the whine of a whipped dog. Imagine a cyclone comin' to that! Then, they tell me, you couldn't heah anything but the squealin' and gruntin' of those pesky little peccaries.
"Aw, quit yer kiddin'!" he said gruffly. "A century note fer me!" "Dat's wot I said! Youse heard me!" rejoined the Magpie shortly. "Only if it listens good to youse now, I don't want no squealin' after the divvy. I'm takin' de chances, youse has de soft end of it. One century note fer youse an' de rest is none of yer business! Dat's puttin' it straight, ain't it?
He fired again and then again, aiming each time at a different spot in the palisade. There was a roar of anger from the hidden Kachins, a roar answered by an exultant shout from the besieged. "Pipe it into 'em, Jim," roared Buck. "You're gettin' home every shot. Hark at 'em squealin'."
"Thought I wouldn't know yer ugly face, did yer?" yelled a familiar voice. "No good squealin' I got yer! I'd bust you up if I could!" I hurried forward toward the spot where two dim figures were locked in deadly conflict. "Take that to remember me by!" gasped the husky voice as I ran up. One of the figures collapsed in a heap upon the ground.
