Whiskey for mine!" "Rats! You're over the worst of this bump already. You're going back to-morrow and dig in to make good on the dam." "The dam! What's it to me now?" "Fifty thousand dollars, the credit for your bridge, and a place among the top-notchers." "Much that amounts to when I've lost her!" retorted Blake.
The majority of them I've had, one time or another, as hangers-on in my dressing-room once I had sung at the 'Real. Well, despite all that, I took the exaggerations your party friends printed about you quite seriously for some days, putting you on a level with all the solemn top-notchers I have known. And why, do you suppose?
"But I know you're right in part at least, that will probably be the case in time. Just as it will with the other planets as their best and younger top-notchers go out to open up still more worlds." In the middle of that first night on Algon something, perhaps his sub-conscious, brought George Hanlon wide awake, his every mental faculty clear and alert. Click! Click!
We can't be young more than once, and if the lady takes you in tow in Benton you'll have the world by the tail as long as it holds. She moves with the top-notchers; she's a knowing little piece no offense. Her and me are good enough friends. There's no brace game in that deal. I only aim to give you a steer. Savvy?" And he winked. "You're out to see the elephant, yourself."
"Well, now," said Flood, "if you are going to be so very choice as all that, I might as well ride on. You can't use me if that bunch needs any more trimming. I call them a fine lot of beeves. It's all right for Don to rib the boys up and make them think that the cattle have to be top-notchers. I've watched him receive too often; he's about the easiest man I know to ring in short ages on.
For nigh four miles he held tight behind two duffers who, while up on top-notchers, pulled their mounts so heavily that they took a top rail off nearly every fence they rose to and swerved for low wall-gaps, till he'd got Molly's nerves up a bit.
Now the really top-notchers never do that. They are as full of stoppages as a freight train. Fact. They only create when the spirit moves them." "Aren't you thinking of Quakers?" suggested Desire sweetly. "Besides you are not creating. You are compiling a very different thing." "But what is the use of compiling an off chapter when I know it is going to be an off one?"
"Beef shrinks on the hoof like thunder when it's held up and close-herded on poor range. What yuh better do, Dilly, is let me work this herd and ship just the top-notchers they're all prime beef," he added regretfully, glancing through the fence at the milling herd. "I can cut out ten of twelve cars that'll bring top price, and throw the rest back on the range till we gather again.
"And d'ye mean to tell me that you can pick out any of these top-notchers merely by studying a picture?" "Yes. Probably you could do the same if you, like me, felt yourself a returned exile." Young Devar awoke at last to the fact that his companion was brimming over with subdued excitement.
Promiscuous. Who ever heard of anybody standing back of her? She knocks around. She sells her old clothes to Tessie, my manicurist. I've got a line on her. She's cheap." Kitty, who lay with her face under a white mud of cold cream and her little mouth merely a hole, turned on her elbow. "We can't all be top-notchers, Hester," she said. "You're hard as nails."
