Captain Zelotes picked up a pencil on his desk and tapped his chin lightly with the blunt end. "Um," he mused. "Well, I presume likely he knew all about it." "He knew as much as most people," with a slight but significant hesitation before the "most." "Um-hm. Naturally, havin' been schooled there himself, I suppose." "He wasn't schooled there. My father was a Spaniard."
Take me about twelve o'clock in a foggy night, in a cellar, with the lamp out, and I look pretty nigh handsome to a blind man. . . . Um-hm." She made no comment on this confession.

"Sorry if I offended you, Snow," he observed. "I threw in that hint about marrying just to see what effect it would have, that's all." "Um-hm. So I judged. Well, you saw, didn't you?" "I did.

"Counsel from this earth won't help me any, Mr. Bangs," he declared. "It's higher counsel that I need. Um-hm, higher." He walked away without saying more. Galusha wondered what had set him off upon that tack.
"Did Sim Eldredge cal'late she wanted to feed the rabbit butter? Was the Colton girl alone?" "No. There was a young feller with her; the one that's visitin' 'em. Carver his name is Victor Carver.
