"Jude," Joyce came close and tried to put her hands on her husband's shoulders. "Jude, I want you to pay Mr. Gaston back as soon as you can. It's been on my mind for quite a spell. We must owe him a lot. How much, Jude?" "None of your durned business."
"Is there, is there any gold?" queries Thure, unable longer to keep silent. Ham does not answer for a moment, but continues to stir the sand with his big fingers, bending his head still closer to the pan.

An exclamation of bitter disappointment came from Tommy. "Durned if it ain't an old tramp!" he groaned. "Fellows, we are sold." And so it proved.

"Durn th' durned dam!" and, without another word, Ham turned his back on the scene of their fruitless labors, and strode off toward Hangtown, followed by all the others, who fervently echoed his words in their hearts. "Now I'll say good-by to you men," Marshall said, when they reached the outskirts of Hangtown.
I had a kind of dim idee that your schooling and book-learning made you a bit keener than most about the real facts of the case, but you're all alike. Don't you question me in the future, girl, and you go your way the way I let you go and be thankful, but don't you forget you and me is man and wife, and that means just one durned thing in St. Angé and only one."
"Durned if I know," said Andy. He looked at her aggressively. "I hain't seen hide nor hair of her for two weeks." Juno returned the look, purring indifferently. She leaped from Uncle William's shoulder, leading the way into the house, her back arched and her tail erect; her toes scarcely touched the boards she trod upon. She disappeared under the red lounge.
"Got news for you, Maria," he called from the well, where he was making a pretense of thirst. "Oh I don't know," answered Maria, with a superior smile. "If it's about the redbirds, he's been up to the garden three times this morning yellin', 'See here! fit to split; an' I jest figured that their little ones had hatched. Is that your news?"
