Somebody see you, no? I guess you don' feex me. Sacre! I guess you don' try." Colonel Pennington's discovery at San Francisco that Bryce Cardigan had stolen his thunder and turned the bolt upon him, was the hardest blow Seth Pennington could remember having received throughout thirty-odd years of give and take.
Even their commander, J. Olfert Fischer, had not been under fire before that day, for Denmark had had peace for eighty years. But his father had served as a midshipman with Tordenskjold and the son did not flinch, outnumbered though his force was, two to one, in men and guns. The sun shone fair upon the blue waters as the great fleet of thirty-odd fighting ships sailed up from the south.
"The work I'm figgerin' on would come to about thirty-odd thousand." "Which you haven't got." "Somebody has," said Scattergood. "We have," said Crane. "That's why we came to you and with a proposition. You've grabbed this thing off, but you can't hog it, because you haven't the money to put it through.

In spite of the thirty-odd guests, people of very moderate incomes who knew the place and had come here year after year, I was as much alone as if I had been the only sojourner. The place was so remote, so peaceful in contrast to the city I had left, which had become intolerable. And at night, during hours of wakefulness, the music of the waters falling over the dam was soothing.
A strong odour of turpentine and fixative was in the air, mingled with the stronger odours of linseed oil and sour, stale French bread. Every afternoon a portrait class of some thirty-odd assembled in one of the larger alcoves near the door.
And now thirty-odd years overdue boyhood had come upon him. As he examined the revolver in his bedroom, wild and unfamiliar emotions seethed within him. He did not realize it, but they were the emotions which should have come to him thirty years before and driven him out to hunt Indians in the garden.
There were thirty-odd vessels in the Blue Star fleet windjammers and steam schooners; and Cappy was registered as managing owner of every one.
