It'll seem just like old times. Dan'l was such a 'smoker! Oh, my! and she gave a little squeal; 'I forgot you've stopped smokin'. "Well, there was the cigars, lookin' as temptin' as a squid to a codfish; and there was Kenelm hankerin' for 'em so his fingers twitched; and there was Abbie lookin' dreadful disapp'inted, but tryin' to make believe she wasn't.

Hit's all been hard work up to now, an' nothin' comin' in." He lifted the jug and looked longingly at the coin on the ground. "You don' know what hit is to wan' hit so bad, Mr. Baron." "Do I not know?
You'd be planted or somethin' similar. The fac' that your stummick was empty evidentially saved your life. And," concluded Sundown, "they's no use temptin' Providence now." Shortly after breakfast next morning Corliss sent for Sundown. The rancher sat propped up in a wide armchair. He was pale, but his eyes were clear and steady.

"But 'twouldn't be good sense tew let th' hull town know th' size of y'ur pile. It's tew goll durned big an' temptin'. Not that I wants tew scare you, Leetle Woman. Only it's jest good hoss-religion not tew tempt y'ur feller mortals more'n it's necessary. Now forgit th' gold an' give us a song." Ham had not been without his reasons in thus trying to arouse the fears of Mr. and Mrs.
When I liquidate for my dinner, I like to get about the best that's goin, and I ant a bit too well pleased if I don't. Exciting indeed!! thinks I. Lord, I should like to see you excited, if it was only for the fun of the thing. What a temptin lookin critter you'd be among the galls, would'nt you?
He knew cities was awful wicked an' temptin', he said. "I laughed him out of that notion quick, an' I was honest in it, too. I'd have as soon suspected myself of goin' ter the bad as Jimmy, an' I told him so. Things didn't look right, though.

Miss Ellie, pass the radishes." "I'll do my best," Abe hastened to assure her. "Hy-guy, that coffee smells some kind o' good, don't it? Between the smell o' the stuff an' the looks o' my cup, it'll be so temptin' that I'll wish I had the neck of a gi-raffe, an' could taste it all the way deown. Angy, I be afraid we'll git the gout a-livin' so high. Look at this here cream!"
So t' devil started temptin' her, and what doesta think he said?" "I suppose he told her not to work so hard," I replied, "but take life more easily and quarrel a bit with her neighbours." Tim o' Frolics paused for a moment to enjoy the luxury of seeing me fall into the pit that he had dug for me, and then went on: "He said nowt o' t' sort.
