Slade hailed the tenderfoot with bluff cordiality when the mounted party loped up the slope to him. "Gitting het up, huh? You act like an old-timer on a gold stampede.

For just then the gunboat, swinging around so that she can bring her guns to bear, lets fly her broadside, dropping shot and shell right into the smoking battery. "It's about time," says Jack Winch, "for us boys to go ashore and clean the rebels out. I'm a gitting tired of this slow work." "You'll get ashore soon enough, and have enough to do when you get there," says Atwater.
"I'm jest a plain Cohutta Mountain, jack-leg lawyer. I've not been much of a hand to go to the shindigs the young folks have been gitting up about heer. One reason was I couldn't afford it, another was I didn't have the time to spare, so I haven't never paid court to any special young lady in Cartwright.

He moistened his lips, his hands clasping and unclasping on the table. "Sure, if yer bound ter go.
"Yes," rejoined Mr. De Younge; "things are gitting mighty critical even in dese 'ere parts; and I wouldn't live furder down town if you was to give me a house rent-free. Why, it's raly dangerous to go home nights down dere." "And there is no knowing how long we may be any better off up here," continued Mr.
I know because he like to froze before we got the mess-house chinked up good I'll be doggoned if Patsy ain't gitting old!" That was it, perhaps: Patsy was getting old. And old age does not often sweeten one's temper, if you notice.
I with the two large Canoes proceeded on up the N. W. Side with the intention of gitting to the Encampment of our hunters who was derected to hunt in the bottom above Crusats River, and there wait the arival of Capt. Lewis.
