Here was a strong, brave young Easterner, twenty years his junior, evidently as shrewd as himself more so, he feared who actually proposed a business alliance. Besides, Cowperwood, in his young, healthy, aggressive way, was like a breath of spring. "I ain't keerin' so much about the name," rejoined Laughlin. "You can fix it that-a-way if you want to.
I just ventur' to ask that question, sir." "It may be the hand of Providence, my good fellow; for I very frankly own I can see no direct physical cause.

"Well, sir, and who causes the tides and currents to run, this-a-way and that-a-way?"
An' so, feelin' friendly all roun' that-a-way, we thought we'd leave Sonny to pick his church when he got ready, an' then they wouldn't be nothin' to undo or do over in case he went over to the 'Piscopals, which has the name of revisin' over any other church's performances though sence we've turned 'Piscopals we've found out that ain't so.
"This ain't no place t' fight," he protested. "The old man'd hear." "Y' can't git outen it that-a-way!" shouted One-Eye, arms in the air. "They's miles o' room outside! Come down into the yard! Mosey! Break trail! Vamose!" He waved the other out. Buoyed up by so much excitement, Johnnie managed to stand for a moment. "One-Eye!" he cried, all gratitude and pride; and, "One-Eye!"

"Indiana's ma state. The tornado country.... Git to work; here's that bastard wop comin' around the buildin'." "Don't pick 'em up that-a-way; sweep 'em up," shouted the corporal. Andrews and the Indiana boy went round with a broom and a shovel collecting chewed-out quids of tobacco and cigar butts and stained bits of paper. "What's your name? Mahn's Chrisfield.

"There never was such a thing as a cross-eyed horse." "Oh, there wasn't, wasn't there?" said Curly. "Well, now, my friend, when you talk that-a-way, you simply show me how much you don't know about horses. This here Bar T horse was as cross-eyed as a saw-horse, until we got him ostypathed. But, of course, if you don't believe what I say, there's no use tellin' you this story at all."
I don't know w'at all to do an' I sometimes gets plumb discouraged-like. "Now, hearin' of him talk that-a-way, an' a-knowin' of his weakness, I gits a idea. It's a chanst and mebbee it don't pan out, but I puts it up as a bluff.
You see, honey, he makes him up a spite that-a-way jes out o' nothin' 'cause hit's sech a handy thing to have around when he comes to want co'n.
