Somehow I always has to swaller somethin' before I can push out a cold dope. Course, I knew he'd got to be back before long; but I see right off that this wa'n't any day for a fam'ly reunion. Piddle wa'n't goin' to be any too sociable by dinner time that night, 'less'n he'd hit up the bucketshop, which the chances was against. So it was my turn to make a foxy play.
"I used to roll 'em in flour and swaller 'em with the feathers on," said he. "You're a terrible rough feller, ain't you?" Taterleg inquired with cutting sarcasm. Alta led Jedlick off to his corner; Taterleg and Lambert entered the hotel office. "Gee, but this is a windy night!" said the Duke, holding his hat on with both hands. "I'll let some of the wind out of him if he monkeys with me!"
"Um!... They been lettin' him make a mite of money up to now, eh? So he calc'lated on gittin' rich at one wallop. Kind of led him along, I calc'late, till they got him to swaller hook, line, and sinker ... and then they up and jerked him floppin' on to the bank.... Who owns this here bucket shop?" "Tim Peaney." "Perty slick, is he?"
"I'll remember it," Banjo told her, shaking his head in unbending determination, "and I couldn't be easy here like I was in the past. If I was to try to swaller a bite of Saul Chadron's grub after this it'd stick in my throat and choke me.

"Swaller thet!" yelled Las Vegas, with terrible strident ferocity. "Listen man!... I take it back!... I'll give up Auchincloss's ranch!" Beasley was now a shaking, whispering, frenzied man, ghastly white, with rolling eyes. Las Vegas's left fist pounded hard on the table. "GREASER, COME ON!" he thundered. Then Beasley, with desperate, frantic action, jerked for his gun.

What do they care about the machinery, so long as it turns out the thing they want?
It seemed as if shrinking from something, twisting itself rigidly, as a fossil tree might shrink in a wind that could move it. "I feel well 'nough," said she. "I guess it's the light." "Well, mebbe 'tis," replied Amanda, still looking anxiously at her. "Of course you know if you feel well, but you do look dreadful white to me. Don't you want some water, or a swaller of cold tea?"
The waste! The extravagance! Th' beer an' wine an' sperrits they swaller! Them is sure the thirstiest menials ever I heard tell of! An' the butler such airs, such a appetite! An' sherry an' bitters t' make it worse! Lord, Mr. Geoffrey, your servants sure is a ravenin' horde!" "Don't be too hard on 'em, Mrs. Trapes," he answered gravely, "I'm afraid I've neglected them quite a good deal.
"And what makes you think he is dead?" asked Stafford. "Why, you see," returned Mr. Middleton, "when our old pap died, something in the will stuck crossways in Bill’s swaller, and he left college and put to sea, and I hain’t heard from him in fifteen years." "Did he look like you?" said Raymond. "He was four years younger than I," answered Mr.
