Next year come fifteen hundred, an' in '45 twicet that many, an' so it has went, doublin, an' doublin'. Six or seven thousand whites go up the Platte this season, an' a right smart sprinklin' o' them'll git through to Oregon. Them 'at does'll carry plows. "Ma'am, if the brave that sunk a arrer in yore plow beam didn't kill yore plow hit warn't because he didn't want to.
"They'll pay for this trick every man, woman, and child of them'll bleed for what they've done to me tonight!" "Let Alvino go to the camp up the river where Mr. Chadron left the men, and tell them; they can do more than you." "You couldn't drive him alone out of sight of the lights in the house with fire. He'd come back with some kind of a lie before he'd went a mile.
When you get home you can hand it to one of the big-wigs at the India Office, and he'll put it in a pigeon-hole, and some day an old charwoman cleaning the office will find it, and she'll take it home to her grandchildren to play with and one of them'll drop it on the fire, and there'll be an end of it." "Yes," replied Thresk slowly. "But if I do that, it won't be useful at Calcutta, will it?"
Arrow got the strong waters that destroyed him. Dick was gone but a little while, and during his absence Israel spoke straight on in the cook's ear. It was but a word or two that I could catch, and yet I gathered some important news; for, besides other scraps that tended to the same purpose, this whole clause was audible: "Not another man of them'll jine."
"And the men who never come off," he said, "who try like the rest, but get knocked out, or somehow miss, or break down or get bowled over in the melee, and get no Princess, nor even a second-class kingdom, some of them'll be there, I hope?" "Yes, if you like," I replied, not quite understanding him; "if they're friends of yours, we'll ask 'em, of course."
Them'll pay Bob's debt an' pay for th' maid's goin' too. That's what Bob were wantin'." "Did Ed say now as Bob were gettin' all that fur?" she asked. "I were feelin' so sore bad over Bob's goin' I were never hearin' un I were not thinkin' about th' lad's fur I were thinkin' o' he." "Aye, Ed were sayin' that. Emily must be ready t' go on th' cruise t' meet th' first trip o' th' mail boat.
"I hope we shall never be in that condition," said my uncle, "for we shall husband our stores as reserves, and live as much as we can upon the fish we catch and the birds we shoot." "Ha, ha, ha!" laughed the captain. "Going up the rivers, air you?" "Yes." "Then you'd better try and ketch the sea cows. They're big as elephants, and one o' them'll last you two, six months if she don't go bad."
Oh, I suppose it's to show good-will. Folks generally do at such times. But I'll ring the tea-bell, and that'll scare some of them home may be. Some of them'll have to wait till the second table, if they all stay, that's one thing. And I hope they'll think they've heard enough to pay them before they go." They did not hear very much, certainly.
Thady, I say," shouted, or rather screamed, the old man, as his son continued silently eating his breakfast, "Thady, I say; have they the money, at all at all, any of them; or is it stubborn they are? There's Flannelly and Keegan with their d d papers and bills and costs; will you be making out the £142 7s. 6d. before Christmas for the hell-hounds; or it's them'll be masters in Ballycloran?
Kidd; "and who's to tell that pore soul I don't know. She fair doated on 'im. 'Ow she's to live I don't know. I shall do what I can for 'er." "Same 'ere," said Mr. Brown, in a deep voice.
