And I'll need you to sit on his head. Likewise to carry this bowl and the sponge, while I'm opening the door and getting the bag over his head. Are you game?" "I sure am!" breathed the enraptured boy. "Come 'long, then. The stuff's ready; and we don't want to waste any time. Go ahead and see if there's anyone in that end of the stable."
"Yes, and that's another reason why he'd go to some planet like Hoth or Nergal or Xochitl. On a Viking-occupied planet in the Old Federation, that stuff's almost worth its weight in gold." "What's Tanith like?" "Almost completely Terra-type, third of a Class-G sun. Very much like Haulteclere or Flamberge. It was one of the last planets the Federation colonized before the Big War.
But what's the good of running anything off the plate before turning it over to 'em the stuff's no good to us." "You got a wooden nut, with sawdust for brains," said Malone sarcastically.

"You just hold on till I see what you've got in there," went on Belllounds, and he reached over into the wagon and pulled at a saddle. "Say, do you mean anything?... This stuff's mine, every strap of it. Take your hands off." Belllounds leaned on the wagon and looked up with insolent, dark intent.
Howsomever, I wouldn't git nothin' but clam shells outern a gold mine. Thet's th' way m' luck runs. Maybe th' stuff's there, maybe it ain't; but if I goes, it ain't." He added, a moment later: "Howsomever, I can see how, in order to find the girl, you has to go. The dago gent if he lives will make fer that right off.
The blizzard does not sweep away its vengeful enthusiasm in a day or a night. It comes and it stays departing for a time, it seems that it may gather new strength and fury for an even fiercer attack.

"Well, couldn't we?" said Spike doggedly. "It ain't often youse butts into a dead-easy proposition like dis one. We shouldn't have to do a t'ing excep' git busy. De stuff's just lying about, Mr. Chames." "I have noticed it." "Aw, it's a waste to leave it." "Spike," said Jimmy, "I warned you of this. I begged you to be on your guard, to fight against your professional instincts; and you must do it.

"If the stuff's like lead in your bottle " The General stopped to sample the new brew. In the pause, from the far side of the cabin Dillon spat straight and clean into the heart of the coals. "Well, what do you do when the mercury freezes?" asked the Boy.

He had kept looking through the crack of the door. "Reckon it's about right," said Keith. "'Tain't right! There's more there'n I took. My stuff's there too. For Christ's sake, let me go!" "Look here, Jack, is the little bag yours?"
