"How could I get into mischief my particular kind of mischief in Montricheux, with the stakes at the tables limited to five measly francs? If we were at Monte, now " If Ann noticed his hesitation she made no comment on it. She finished pouring out her tea. "I'm very glad we're not," she said with decision. "You'd be too big a handful for me to manage there."
"All my eggs are in one basket, and it's a mean trick of you to hire out for filthy lucre to kick that basket." "What do ye mane?" asked the Rough Red, fixing his twinkling little eyes on Orde. "You don't mean to tell me," countered Orde, glancing down at the other's rubber-shod feet, "that this crew has been sent up here just to break out those measly little rollways?"

"You infernal liars," roared Si; "if I wasn't so tired I'd lick the whole caboodle of you. But I'll say this: Any man who says that the 200th Ind. run, or that our brave Colonel run, or that any man in it run, is a low-down, measly liar, and hain't a grain a' truth in him, and he daresn't take it up."
She went loco oveh thu thing, got in too much of a hurry, an' sold out the claim, unbeknownst ter him who were managin' it fer her, fer a measly hunnerd thousand, jes' two hours befoh he closed a deal with a big Denveh outfit foh a quateh million.
