"Ah-h-h!" said Fitzgerald pleasurably. "I'm thinkin' of the cab-drivers an' truck drivers that've been beat up. I'm thinkin' of property smashed and honest people scared.... Do you know, I'm terrible afraid Big Jake's too much in the habit of violence to stop, even if his eyelids twitch? It's deplorable!
I've said nothing all this time; but he's made some of my best men quit bridge workers that've stayed by me for years. Said they couldn't stand for his damned swell-headedness, not even to oblige me." "Well, well, I leave it to you. Do the best you can. It's a bad bargain, but we've got to go through with it.
"She knows that if I can't have her I'm fast enough to keep everyone else away." "I see. A process of elimination with you as the eliminator. Rather an odd courtship, Steve?" The cowpuncher grew deadly serious. "You see, I love her. There ain't no way of bucking out of that. So do nine out of ten of all the boys that've seen her. Which one will she pick?
It's the other fellers' womenfolks that've cause to worry. Let them stay up and walk the floor."

Doubtful, three hundred and eighty-six-some of 'em can be bought; most of 'em are waiting to see which way the cat jumps, so as to jump with her."
I for one have stood about all I'm going to stand from this bunch of cutthroats that've taken the place of the Committee we organized to protect the town. To-night I want every man that calls himself honest to come to my place and hold a mass meeting, to elect a Committee like we had in the first place. I want every man " "Bill, you're crazy!"
"I did think maybe I might get the supervisors to let me go out to the cemetery and set on the folks that are buried there, so's I could overhaul 'em and kinder revise the verdicts that've been rendered on 'em.
"Old Man," he said for they had already reached the Old Man stage "don't let that worry you. Why, I've got more pants than any man with only one set of legs has any right to have. I've got pants that've never been worn. You stay right here and don't move until I come back. My hotel is just round the corner from here." No sooner said than done.
