Now just a common little hold-up ain't so bad. That could happen on any lonely mountain road. But this here kidnapping, you never can tell how its going to turn out. Might be murder before you got through, especially if Link is along. You know Link!" "That's all right, Pat, you needn't worry, this'll go through slick as a whistle, and a million in it if we work it right.
"Now, Sampson, this'll be enough of this." "What have you got to say about it?" inquired Sampson, irately. "Plenty to say," answered Jenkins, calmly. "Not much, you haven't. You keep away from the engine room and the engine-room affairs. I can 'tend to my department. You 'tend to yours." "I can attend to yours as well when the time comes. There's work ahead for " "Well, attend to me now.
Why, I felt ashamed of myself sometimes, it was so much like taking candy from the baby. But he isn't a half bad sort of a boy; and let's hope this'll be a lesson to him never again to throw stones at poor tramps. They're human as well as the rest of us, and have their feelings. That lump on his head pained Weary Willie Larkins as much as it would have done Hen here."
By night he was saying in his heart, "The Colonel's a fool." His pardner caught the look that matched the thought.

She looked in a strangely beseeching way at her daughter.
"I been watching for you," she said. "I went up attic, where I could see you turn the corner. Then I snipped 'em off, and here they are." Jerry took the box with a grave decorum, as if it represented something precious to him, and disposed it in the back of the wagon under the light robe. "I'm obliged to you, Marietta," he said. "This'll mean a good deal to me."
"Did you do that?" she said limply. "Yes," said he, with all the casualness that he could assume. "How does it strike you?" And to himself: "This'll make her see I'm not a mere lunatic. This'll give her a shaking up." "I'm sure it's beautiful," she said kindly, but without the slightest conviction. "What is it? Is that Putney Bridge?" "Yes," he said. "I thought it was.

Walters drank his bowl down at a gulp, grunted and went on talking.
