"Father might have had the pick of the township," quoth Uncle Joe; "but the old coon preferred that sup of good water to the site of a town. Well, I guess it's seldom I trouble the spring; and whenever I step that way to water the horses, I think what a tarnation fool the old one was, to throw away such a chance of making his fortune, for such cold lap." "Your father was a temperance man?"
He carefully concealed his rising anger, however. He must be more certain of his ground before he made any leap that might prove dangerous. "What in tarnation has he got to do with this affair?" "He has everything to do with it, so far as you are concerned at this particular moment. We must get that man out of this town.
"Yes!" roared the furious manager, "but how in tarnation are you going to get it under his belly? Think some one is going down there and dive between his legs with your blooming old sling, do yuh? That animal is nearly all under water, remember." To tell the truth, that question had been bothering Bruce from the first. He had hoped that the water was only two or three feet deep.
I guess there is a good deal of romance about their old times; and that, if we knowed all, their old lairds warn't much better, or much richer than our Ingian chiefs; much of a muchness. Kinder sorter so, and kinder sorter not so, no great odds. Both hardy, both fierce; both as poor as Job's Turkey, and both tarnation proud, at least, that's my idea to a notch.
The shot swung round it and killed every one of them seven hundred and sixty-two yellow-legs right where they stood. But tarnation! He'd forgotten all about himself, he was so interested in the science of it. The back of his neck was right in that circle and the shot came round true as could be and hit him right there.
If anything should happen " "But nothing's going to happen, popsy." "It might. I don't seem to care as much as I did. I'm so tarnation tired. I reckon the goin' ain't as bad as I always calculated. I didn't know how tired they felt and anxious to rest." "I'll turn down the light. The nurse is right in there." "Yes turn the light.
'I'm come to bid you good-bye he said. 'Where are you going, Mick? asked Caldigate, climbing up out of the hole by the rope. 'I'm blessed if I know, but I'm off. You are getting that hole tarnation crooked. The man was going without any allusion to the wages he had earned, or to the work that he had done. But then, in truth, he had not earned his wages, as he had broken his contract.
"Well, why in tarnation didn't yuh guard 'em then? Bruce interrupted the sputtering manager by pointing to the red light. "There's our light. We did our part. It must have been your fault. But no matter; we'll help you get the animal out of the quarry if you'll let us. "How'll yuh do it? Haven't got a thing in my outfit t' pull him out with." "Oh, we'll do it all right," said Bruce.
I advised Mr. Haley ter let well enough alone." "Then they know who is the thief at last?" asked Janice, quaveringly. "No." "But they know Mr. Haley never stole them coins!" cried Aunt Almira. "Wal ef they do, they don't admit of it," drawled Uncle Jason. "What in tarnation is it, then, Dad?" demanded Marty.
"It's an easy thing to turn a few thousands a year while there are old ships to be bought, and offices which will insure them above their value. There was D'Arcy Campbell, of the Silvertown what a trade that man did! He was smart tarnation smart! Collisions was his line, and he worked 'em well. There warn't a skipper out of Liverpool as could get run down as nat'ral as he could." "Get run down?"
