"There's nothing to do, or I'd do it, except to give him a piece of my mind and throw up the job before they have the chance to fire me." "You wouldn't just at this time!" cried the anemic girl. "Wouldn't I? You'll see. I don't care a tinker's curse what becomes of me after to-day." Win's ears were burning as if they had been tweaked. The minutes were passing.
"Drink up," she cries, "it's a rid tinker's night this." "Why red tinkers, Meg?" says Dan, raising his head from close confab wi' the captain. "Ye ken the story fine," says she, "how the weans hiv the red hair tae keep them warm maybe, lying oot." "Not me, my lass," says Dan; "sit down here beside me and tell us."
Cox and his friends joined in having a good time at the tinker's expense, and pronounced him the "prince of good fellows;" though I much fear, had Fox suddenly importuned them for a small loan, they would have changed their tune; but as he did not, "all went merry as a marriage bell." Cox had two bosom friends Horton and Barclay.
If you had a thousand selves, they wouldn't be enough for him." "Stop!" shouted Jaffery. She wheeled round on him. "Hold your tongue, Jaff Chayne. I guess I've the right, if anybody has, to fix up your concerns." "What right?" Doria demanded. "Never mind." She took a step forward. "Oh, no; not that right! Don't you dare to think it. Jaff Chayne doesn't care a tinker's curse for me that way.
He could buy with discrimination, he had a rare gift of salesmanship, but as a collector, in the words of Sam Cheatley, the village butcher, himself a conspicuous star in that department of business activity, "He was not worth a tinker's curse." His accounts were sent out punctually twice a year. His wife saw to that.
So they kept them and used them; and I fear that no benefit came from the little tinker's skill to Amelia's mamma's acquaintance in this matter. "Have I any other tasks?" Amelia inquired. "One more," said the dwarfs; and she was led farther on to a smooth mossy green, thickly covered with what looked like bits of broken thread.
Phelps, here, is fond of saying that he could buy and sell us all out any time he's a mind to; but he knew Harve wouldn't have given a tinker's damn for his bank and all his cattle farms put together; and a lack of appreciation, that way, goes hard with Phelps. "Old Nimrod, here, thinks Harve drank too much; and this from such as Nimrod and me!"
"See here! you kids, if you'll let me stand on your shoulders, you two, I'll give those Tin Scouts an eye-opener," he said, retaliating after a manner to hurt only himself, as he addressed the two younger boys with him, his eyes cast up to that mysterious fissure, outlined, a rocky tripod, above his head, of which the Scoutmaster had remarked that all behind it was black as a tinker's pot.
Come aboard all of you and test the Canary we got in the hold of a fine Spanish galleon last week! Such a top-heavy ship, with sails like a tinker's tatters, you never saw! And her hold running over with Canary and Madeira oh! Come aboard! Come aboard!" he urged. It was Pierre Radisson's turn to blink. "And drink to the success of the beaver trade," importunes Ben.
"You know nothing about me," Cumshaw said impulsively. "You don't know who I am or what I've been. You haven't an idea...." Bryce cut him short with a sweeping gesture of his chubby hands. "My dear man," he said, "what you've been doesn't matter a tinker's curse to me. It's what you are that counts." "You don't even know that," the other answered, his lips curling in a wry smile.
