"What in tarnation is this all about?" Hetty asked as she climbed down from the pickup. "Know what this tractor's running on?" Johnny shouted over the noise of the engine. "Of course I do, you young idiot," she exclaimed. "It's gasoline." "Wrong," Johnny yelled triumphantly. "It's running on Sally's milk!"
The German and Jacko worked like heroes, probably with intense enjoyment of the excitement, and, after a while, found a fourth figure among the flames, for Mickey had now returned. "You saw them," Harry said, panting with his work. "They's all right," said Mickey, flopping away with a great bough; "but that tarnation Chinese has gone off." "My word! Sing Sing. Find him at Boolabong," said Jacko.
She's got something up her sleeve, you can bank on that, and its an ace card in whatever game she's playing. But what in tarnation the stakes are that she's after is more'n I know. I don't envy you, Mr. North, you and that lady that's going to make our Billie over. You'd better take off your coat and spit on your hands, for you've got the stiffest job ahead of you that you ever tackled.
Tarnation, I reckon Washington and all his European fellers east of the mountains won't be able ter hold us back this time. I reckon we'll gallop over Louisiany in the face of all the Spaniards ever created. I've got some new whiskey I 'low will sink tallow. Come in, Davy." As he took me by the arm, a laughter and shouting came from the back room.
I 'low the South will get whipped like all tarnation, but if she does I'm a Southerner myself, an' I'll have to git whipped along with her. But talkin' don't do no good fur nobody. If the South goes out, it's hittin' that'll count, an' them that hits fastest, hardest, truest an' longest will win."
"I'd better begin to lay in ballast for to-morrow." The captain took his seat at the table, and put his feet squarely on the unsuspected Jim. Then came the explosion. "By tarnation thunder, there's somebody under thar," he exclaimed, rising to his feet. Jim crawled from under as quick as he could, and with a sense of sullen fury he saw the game was up for a second time.
"How in tarnation am I going to know which 'she' he's a-stewing about? There's a pair of 'em, and they both look like wimmin ez have been dragged hilter-skilter through the big woods for some better 'n a week. Natheless, they're fitting to set up and take their nourishment, both on 'em.
Then I'd want a couple uv good rifles, one to take the place uv tother when it went bad, an' a couple uv huts p'raps three or four hundred miles apart to sleep in, when the weather wuz too tarnation bad, lots uv ammunition an', Paul, I'd be happy on that thar estate uv mine." "Aren't you a little bit grasping, Jim?" asked Paul. "Me, graspin'," replied Long Jim in a surprise.
I generally stop here to take a look when I'm passing." And he spat tobacco juice on the coping. Stephen came to his senses. "And you are from New England?" he said. Mr. Hopper laughed. "Tarnation!" said he, "you get used to it. When I came here, I was a sort of an Abolitionist. But after you've lived here awhile you get to know that niggers ain't fit for freedom." Silence from Stephen.
"Sorter." "Could you get me to his place?" "I reckon. That's what I come ter do." "I I had a trunk sent on ahead; perhaps it is in that shed?" "It's up to to Jim's place. Can you ride behind me on the mare? Travelling is tarnation bad." Once they were on the mare's back, conversation dragged, then died a natural death.
