Nance made no answer but crouched lower and attempted to put the table between them. "What t'ell Bill ails you will you tell me?" he asked with rising wrath. "I THOUGHT you wuz the devil," the old woman panted. "Now I KNOW it!"
"Wat t'ell do yu' think this is puss-in-the-corner? Cut out the marathon, and come on and fight." Indeed it was good; it was one of those dearly desired comedy moments which Holliday knew would grow epic in the re-telling. Holliday was a good showman. There were more cat-calls, more jeers, and cries of, "Yellow yellow!" And then Holliday went after him and the house went mad.
Then all at once he pulled one uh these ol'-style revolvers an' points it at 'em, an' yells: 'Indicaziones! Indicaziones! T'ell weez your indicaziones! Now you show me zee me-tall!" Casey stopped, reached for his plug and remembered that he mustn't. The Little Woman laughed. She didn't seem to need the tapering off of the story, as most women demand.
Gaston, or Mike, with his eyes half shut and his mind on his cigarette, picked up the trail, neatly crowded the cab to the curb and pocketed it. "What t'ell you doin'?" yelled the cabman.

The purr of the motor deepened to a leonine growl. "Hello!" he exclaimed in surprise, real or feigned, to see P. Sybarite take the seat by his side. "What t'ell?

John's brigade was deployed along the edge of a piece of woods on the right of the Warrenton turnpike and stood for hours. A rumble of disgust swept the lines: "What t'ell are we waitin' for?" "Why don't we get at 'em?" "And this is war!" And no breakfast either.
