Whenever he seen a fence, he'd go through it, an' whenever he seen a river, he'd swim it; an' the whole fraternity stringin' after, thinkin' he was on for somethin' worth while. Grand leader, but a beggar to clear.
At that very hour, half past nine P. M., Ardelia Tutt and Abram Gee had met agin, and rosy love and happiness wuz even then a stringin' roses on the chain that wuz to bind 'em together forever. The way on't wuz: It bein' early when Ardelia got here, Bial proposed to take her out for a drive and she consented.
And there wuz them that said that they should think the huntin' would be excitin', a-rummagin' round on the ground for some old bones, and they should think the fishin' would be superb, a-dippin' 'em out of a barell and stringin' 'em onto their own strings. But their stories are very large, that I know.
Sure they would. I'd be tyin' a noose round my own neck." "Do you know who killed my uncle?" demanded Lane point-blank. "Did you see it done?" Olson's eyes narrowed. A crafty light shone through the slitted lids. "Hold yore hawsses. I ain't said I knew a thing. Not a thing. I was stringin' you." Kirby knew he had overshot the mark. He had been too eager and had alarmed the man.
"Guess I said a whole lot yesterday that I forgot this mornin'. I get to joshin' when I'm drinkin' bug-juice. What you gettin' at?" "The money at the Concho." "Oh, that! Why, Billy, I was jest stringin' you! Supposin' somebody was to make a try for it; there's Chance like to be prowlin' around and the safe ain't standin' open nights. Besides, Jack sleeps next to the office. That was a josh."
For a moment she regarded him. Then she smiled. "Billy," she said severely, "you're stringin' your boss. I'm sure goin' to fire you, some day, like I ben a-threatenin'." "Do an' hire me over!" "Nope." The girl shut her pretty lips and the man's hand crept softly up and touched her wrist where it lay against her knee. "All right," he said airily, "gimme my time. I quit."
They say he's got Adam to cough up six thousand extra since five o'clock, but the question is ain't he stringin' us? He paid six hundred for a block of ten not quarter of an hour ago and nine of 'em were our delegates." It must be remembered that these are Mr. Tooting's words, and Mr. Crewe evidently treated them as the product of that gentleman's vivid imagination.
Seth and me went rummagin' through town records from way back to glory, him gassin' away and stringin' along about this old settler and that, till I 'most wished he'd choke himself with the dust he was raisin'. We found John's grandad's will, and Emily's dad's will, and John's own will, and that's all.
And Hodder perceived that the face, if the stamp of this expression could have been removed, was not unpleasing, although indulgence and recklessness were beginning to remould it. "Quit stringin' me," she said. For a moment he was at a loss. He gathered that she did not believe him, and crossed to the open window. "If you will come here," he said, "I will show you the room where he lies.
I aint at all poetical, but if there was ever a matter to make a man feel like stringin' rhymes, that evenin' that Crop and I spent on the lower chain of ponds, or little lakes on Bog River, was a thing of that sort.
