"Sure it was salted!" agreed Wunpost, laughing exultantly, "but you Blackwater stiffs will bite at anything. Did I ever claim it was a mine? I'm a bull-shover, am I? Well, when did I ever come here and try to sell somebody a mine?
He was the swiftest runner in the league and always when he got going the crowd rose in wild clamor to watch him. Mac took that fly right off the foul flag in deep left, and the bleachers dinned their pleasure. The teams changed positions. "Fellers," said Spears, savagely, "we may be a bunged-up lot of stiffs, but, say! We can hit! If you love your old captain sting the ball!"
The Irish neighbours expressed the same sentiment in different and more forcible words. There was no doubt about it as warriors, the Three Pointers had failed to give satisfaction. A voice from the room called up to Psmith. "Say!" "You have our ear," said Psmith. "What's that?" "I said you had our ear." "Are youse stiffs comin' down off out of dat roof?" "Would you mind repeating that remark?"
The university was at Mohalis only fifteen miles from Zenith, and Ted often came down for the week-end. Babbitt was worried. Ted was "going in for" everything but books. But of his studies Babbitt could learn nothing save a mumbled, "Oh, gosh, these old stiffs of teachers just give you a lot of junk about literature and economics."
As the boy came through the little gate Mortimer accosted him. "Hello, Alan!" he exclaimed, very gently, "what's the trouble?" "Just a silly mistake," answered Porter, a weak laugh following his words; "Langdon has claimed that I rode Lauzanne." "Is dat it?" interposed Old Bill; "an' did you tell dem dey was wrong-de stiffs!
Even Tom's irrepressible spirits were somewhat tamed, although he had less to fear than some of the others. "Gee," he whispered, "it's like a funeral." "Don't cheer, boys, the poor devils are dying," murmured Bert. "They piled the stiffs outside the door, There must have been a cord or more," quoted Dick. The subdued way in which the boys filed in gave the coach his cue.
No, she must find some way out, so that a part of her unearned fortune could be of real benefit to him. "Tell me again," Clark demanded moodily, "just what those banker stiffs said about the title? When was it finally fixed up so as to shut us out?" "I don't know just when, but I suppose some time before I came of age.
"Pan, I seen Purcell's eyes," spoke up Blinky. "Shore he meant to drop Mac an' you in two shots. But he wasn't quite previous enough." "I was too slow myself," rejoined Pan haltingly. "Mac New was an outlaw, but he was white compared to Hardman." "Wal, it's all over. Let's kinda get set back in our saddles," drawled Blinky. "What'll we do with them stiffs?"
Here, at sea, the mates hammered the fear of the Lord and the Law into them. This was well and good. But the mates hammered too hard. They aimed to cow the stiffs, and cow them they did. But the stiffs' fear of the afterguard became so great they were like cornered rats. They came below after a watch on deck with fresh marks upon their faces and bodies, and heard little Nils moaning in his pain.
There wasn't a man in the crowd that interviewed me whom I could convince that our hospital wasn't a factory for the making of stiffs which we sold to the Northern Medical College. Oh, it was gruesome! "I told them the girl had had every attention, and that she died of pernicious anaemia.
