I never see a place yet where the huntin' was so plentiful an' the game so scarce." He got interested in a minute an' told me he had a shotgun, a rifle, an' three revolvers. "I wish I could write Chinese," sez I. "What for?" sez he. "So I could put up a sign warnin' him away," sez I. "Why, if we'd all three get a chance at that Chinaman, it'd take me a solid week to clean him off the lawn."
I spoke of that afore; an' now I give ye warnin' that I cull every log, big or little, punk or sound, that ain't sawed square and true across th' butt." "Th' log is sound and good, an' ye'll scale it, or I'll know th' reason why!" "I will not," replied FitzPatrick. The following day he culled a log in another and distant skidway whose butt showed a slant of a good six inches.
When I got back ter Cohoes thet's whar I belong after that cussed pirut Semmes sunk my hooker, an' 'Riar sees me standin' in front ev her without givin' her any warnin' I was comin', she gets that skeered that she drops kerwallop on the floor, an' when she come to, an' heerd that the Mattie Casey was gone, waal, thet jest sorter finished her.
In less'n a week atter he gin dis warnin', he cotch a nigger in de hen-'ouse, en fill' 'im full er squir'l-shot. W'en he got a light, he 'skivered it wuz a strange nigger; en w'en he call' one er his own sarven's, de nigger tole 'im it wuz our Wiley.
When Waitstill's mother first asked her husband to buy her a new dress, and that was two years after marriage, he simply said: "You look well enough; what do you want to waste money on finery for, these hard times? If other folks are extravagant, that ain't any reason you should be. You ain't obliged to take your neighbors for an example: take 'em for a warnin'!"
I say mean people are more like the copperhead, that hides in the grass and leaves that are like its own color, and when you ain't expectin' it and without any warnin', he'll up and strike you with his poison fangs. What are you goin' to do about it, Amanda?" "Do? I'll do nothing. What can I do?" "You might go round and see the directors and ask them to vote for you," suggested Millie.
'Tis five years ago, an' I take it hard that Mary Haggarty spakes to me through you. 'Tis a warnin', Coolin." "'Twas a lie I told you, Connor 'twas a lie!" And Coolin tried to grin. Connor's voice was like a woman's, soft and quiet, as he answered: "Ye'll lie fast enough, Coolin, whin the truth won't sarve; but the truth has sarved its turn this time." "Aw, Connor dear, only wan half's thrue.
But interfere with that lass of his, an' the hull north won't be big enough to hide ye. That's my warnin', an' if yer not a fool ye'll heed it." Reynolds had a good long sleep that afternoon. He had been much disturbed the night before by several men in the next room, who shouted and sang until early morning.
"But I'm tellin' you that this man's my friend an' if there's any more of them compliments goin' to be handed around I'm warnin' you that you want to hand them out soft an' gentle like. That's all. I reckon we c'n now proceed." The sheriff's face bloated poisonously. He flashed a malignant glance at Hollis. "Well," he snapped, "what's the charge?" "I have already told you," returned Hollis.
He was turnin' the death-color, but his eyes niver rowled. They were set set on her. Widout word or warnin' she opened her arms full stretch, an' 'Here! she sez. Another rhetorical expedient from which emphasis may be derived is, of course, the use of climax.
