When a redskin's blood's up there ain't no trouble too great for him, and he will follow for weeks to get his revenge; but, take 'em all in all, they are lazy varmint, and as long as there is plenty of deer's meat on hand, they will eat and sleep away their time for weeks."
"Look yonder!" said George, suddenly pointing as he spoke to a yacht that was swiftly approaching from the Canadian side of the river. "Do you know what boat that is?" exclaimed John. "We ought to know it," said Fred. "That's the Varmint II."

Natural history was not her favorite study and she was sure she could dispense with any first-hand knowledge of desert beasts.

"'Twer that mizzuble Mexican side-kicker o' hisn, an' the damned varmint nearly got me.
I've got something to say to you, but not down here: you'll be letting out my private affairs, and I can't stand that. 'Well, come upstairs then, you varmint!

"Ah! would ye, yer varmint?" Jerry exclaimed, as a shot rang out from the valley below and a bullet flattened itself against a rock within a foot or two of his head.
"But I was sartain from things he had boasted that he was at the Knob that day. What you goin' to do with this varmint?" And he nodded toward the dead voyager.
