He's made them 'sit up' all along this coast. I like him well enough good hearted man, shocking nervous; but my people down there can't stand him at any price. Sir, he runs this colony. You'd think butter wouldn't melt in that mouth of his; but he always gets his way; that's what riles 'em so; that and the success he's making of his mine.
"He's in a hurry, I suppose," said Joshua. "You'd better follow him. You'll find that he'll listen to you then." "I don't want him to listen to me particularly." "I thought you did." Then for half an hour the two men rode on in silence. "What's the matter with you Harry?" said Joshua. "I can see there's something up that riles you.
But I tell you this, boys we're a long-sufferin' lot around these parts, but they's some things that we don't stand for, and one of 'em that riles us particular much is when a gent that lays out to be a regular hardworking rancher even if he ain't got much of a ranch to talk about and work about takes mankillers under their wings. It ain't regular, and it ain't popular around these parts.
"I s'pose he'll do. He ought to, if he's been to college; but I'll tell you what, Enoch, it riles me to have a boy of my own age set over me." "Me ditto!" "He would do for a primary school, but when it comes to young men like us, I don't like to let people know that he's my teacher." "It's all right for the others to obey him, but you and I are just as strong as he, and maybe stronger."
W'y, there's a member of our Society who riles up directly if you even look at his toes. We keep that member's feet in hot water pretty continuously, we do. There now, I'll be too late if I keep on talkin' like this. You'll not feel tired of the lecture, for Solomon's sure to be interesting, whatever his subject may be. I don't know what it is he hasn't told us yet.
Did Riles tell you that I'm off to Maine tomorrow?" "Riles never tells me anything." "Mother, really!" Riles appeared and put an arm around her shoulders. They were handsome together, short and dark with identical flashing smiles.
As I says to my wife, every time she give me a chance, ’If Judy wasn’t a good girl these boys about here would just natchrally become extinct shootin’ each other upon account of her.’ But she don’t favor none enough to cause trouble." "Are the women jealous of her?" "It’s her independence that riles ’em.
"I have wanted that painting for so long," she said, breaking a silence. "That's a hell of a lot of materials." "Good. More paintings! It's worth ten times that." "Quite so," Riles said. "Well." Don raised his glass. "Thanks." "Bon voyage." They clinked glasses and that was that. Riles and Kai were skilled at such things; they had a knack for moving on. It was a part of their youthfulness.
The only thing which riles me is that you never know what they think about you, and the fellow who writes the Oxford notes for The Globe said last week that the 'Varsity XV. must be badly off if they could not find a better three-quarter than the Cliborough fresher, or some rot of that kind.
"But you would much rather play in the garden than read to him; and especially as it is your holidays, and your own reading-time will soon begin." "Oh! I don't matter. Never bother your head about me; remember I'm all right as long as you are; and that as long as you're jolly, I'm bound to have a good time. But it riles me to see you worrying and overdoing yourself."
