When we got near the Helephant and Castle, Timothy Odgkinson, of Brixton Hill, a low, underselling grocer, got his measly errand cart, with his name and address in great staring white letters, just in advance of the leaders, and kept dodging across the road to get the sound ground, for the whole line was werry "woolley" as you calls it.
"D'y think I'm goin' to be chucked out by a measly nigger and Great Scott!" this latter exclamation was extorted by the sight of the mummy. Braddock motioned to the still angry Cockatoo to move aside, and then nodded triumphantly. "You didn't expect to see that, did you?" he asked. Hervey came to anchor on a chair and turned the cheroot in his mouth with an odd look at the mummy.
For an instant the Sergeant was speechless with amazement. At length his tongue was loosened, and he roared out: "What in the name of General Jackson are you doing, you measly idiot! Who ordered you to load and fire your piece?" "I I th thought you did!" said Si, trembling as if he had the Wabash ague. "You said for us to load nine times.
Is the storm going down any, d'ye think, Maurice?" But Maurice could not say that it was in the least. "I wonder how long this measly old storm is going to keep us here?" Maurice was saying, that afternoon, as he stood on the after-deck of the anchored shanty-boat, and looked at the wild scene out on the raging river. They had seen not a sign of life thus far around them, since dawn.
"She's light," said the elder. "Sh'u'dn't be s'prised," said Old Man Bogle, rolling his eyes, "if she was one of them actoresses. Venture to say she's filled with worldly wisdom, that gal, and that sin and cuttin' up different ways hain't nothin' strange nor unaccustomed to her." "While I was a-drinkin' down her coffee out of that measly leetle cup," said the deacon, "she was that brazen!
The former took occasion, as we rode along, to throw several bouquets at Forrest over his preferment, when the latter turned on us, saying: "You fellows think you're d d smart, now, don't you? You're both purty good talkers, but neither one of you can show me where the rainbow comes in in rotting along with these measly cattle. It's enough to make a man kick his own dog.
"Let go o' him, Clancy!" panted Katz. "I've got him now. The old sea shark will do as I say or take the same medicine he's been threatenin' to hand me." Clancy flung himself from Hogan, and the latter stood at bay under the muzzle of the revolver. "You're a measly pirate," flamed Hogan, "to come aboard of me and carry on like you're doing!" "I'm no worse'n you, if I am a pirate!" snarled Katz.
"There 's more in that job than the measly salary the company pays; and a man 's entitled to take something of what would be his by rights if things were as they should be in this world. There 's a higher law than the law made by the privileged few for their own enriching, and sometimes a man has to take the matter into his own hands and decide what's due him."
"If there was anything around here that gripped hold of Bandy-legs, and tried to yank him out of the tent, I'd be willing to wager a heap that it could be laid at the door of them measly critters, Ted Shafter and his gang!" The others hardly knew what to think.
Do you know how long this man Earling has been getting where he is today? Thirty-five years. More than the average age of man. The successful railroad man, if he begins telegraphing, gets so he can send or receive anything, with his eyes shut, and never makes a mistake. After a long time he gets a measly country station, where he does all kinds of work, and he is satisfied.
