Tom, I reckon there wasn't much time lost forcin' that gate." Belding, in shirt sleeves and barefooted, roared with rage. He said he had heard the horses running as he leaped out of bed. "What woke you?" asked Laddy. "Sol. He came whistling for Dick. Didn't you hear him before I called you?" "Hear him! He came thunderin' right under my window.
The savage, however, did not follow, and Dick, as the lad rushed into his arms, shook him rather roughly, and said: "Keep still! Why do you make such a thunderin' noise?" The lad speedily controlled himself, and then the scout placed his revolver in his hand, and said: "Stand right here, and the minute a redskin shows himself, crack him over. Can you do it?" "Haven't I proved it?"
Another, with a gun-shot wound through the cheek, asked for a looking-glass, and when I brought one, regarded his swollen face with a dolorous expression, as he muttered "I vow to gosh, that's too bad! I warn't a bad looking chap before, and now I'm done for; won't there be a thunderin' scar? and what on earth will Josephine Skinner say?"
Oh Lord, what thunderin' donkeys we fellows are!" groans Captain Bingo, rubbing his head, which has hair of a gingery hue, close-cropped until the scalp blushes pinkly through it, and rubbing nothing in the way of consolation into the brain inside it. "I bought the cottage at Cookham as a surprise for her birthday," goes on the boy. "She's a year or two older than me "
The atmosphere is none of the pleasantest neither, and if a man chooses to withdraw into himself and live there, why I don't see what earthly good he is to society, unless he wants to wind up life by writin' a cookery-book. I hate them that's just the tarm, and I like tarms that express what I mean. I shall never forget when I was up to Michelimackinic. A thunderin' long word, ain't it?
"She ain't for sale," the Ramblin' Kid answered shortly, "not to anybody." "She would be a thunderin' sight better off if she was used." "Would she?" the Ramblin' Kid questioned dully. "I ain't so sure about that." "Of course she would," Old Heck insisted, "she'd be fed regular and " "An' be mauled around by some darned human!" the Ramblin' Kid interrupted with sudden vehemence.
Did you ever see a big boss that would go halvers with his men in flush times, and of his own notion pay 'em extry? No, you never did. But when the fires are mostly out, oh! then we must live on half wages and be thunderin' thankful to git that. I say there ain't one o' them that cares a copper cent for one of us, 'cept just for what he can git outen us.
It's an all-fired shame she happened to be in your house, cap'n, that's all I've got to say about it. It's a thunderin' shame." Captain Eli made no answer. He still sat with his elbows on his knees and his hands in his hair. "A better course than you laid down fer these Christmas times was never dotted on a chart," continued Captain Cephas.
I dun'no's I can make it plain to you, but well, this ain't no place to be in a storm. Never saw the surf pile up on Pemaquid Point, did you? Then you ought to once. And I bet it's rollin' in some there now. Yes, Sir! The old graybacks are jest thunderin' in on them rocks with a roar you can hear three miles back in the woods. Roarin' and smashin', they are, grand and mighty and awful.
"What the" began Steve, when the man from Tennessee took up his scythe and slouched away from the group by the tree. "Didn't yer know no better 'n that, yer thunderin' fool? Can't yer see a hole in a grindstun 'thout it's hung on yer nose?" "What hev I done?" asked Steve, as if dumfounded. "Done? Where 've yer ben, that yer don't know Dixie's wife 's left him?" "Where 've I ben?
