"Lord, I wouldn't tech a gal that could git the upperhand of a horse like that roan mare with a ten-foot pole," half soliloquized the man at work over the bay. "Wouldn't have her if she owned half the township, an' went down on her knees to me darned if I would. Don't want no woman that kin make horse-flesh like that knuckle under.
"You bet we did!" said Bertie, in his voice of bursting self-importance. "Ball-game?" asked Carpenter. "Foot-ball," said I. "Western City played Union Tech today. Wonder what the score was." The cheer leader seemed to take the words out of my mouth. Again the hundred voices roared: "What was the score? Seventeen to four! Who got it in the neck? Union Tech! Who took the kitty? Western City!"
"I've jess tuk it out o' the claws o' the ugliest Injun as ever made trail on a puraira that beauty thar, whose karkidge the buzzards won't be likely to tech." While speaking Cully points to a corpse. It is that of the Tenawa chief, already identified among the slain. "He must a' hed it in his clutch when suddenly shot down," pursues the guide. "An' whar did he git it?
"Somethin' as shall never tech you, Rosy-Lilly!" declared Johnson, snatching up the child and bearing her off to bed, amid a roar of laughter which saved Dave Logan the embarrassment of a reply. For a time, now, Rosy-Lilly left McWha alone, so markedly that it looked as if Walley Johnson or Jimmy Brackett had admonished her on the subject.
On the Ipplinger starship a communications tech slapped home a switch and the solido-vision circle settled over the Blond Terror's head, a halo of solid light for a complex Ipplinger signal-reaction device. "Hail Ippling!" Boswellister shouted. Boswellister strained forward, clutching the seat arms. It had to work! His equation must be right! The symbol had the proper cultural connotations.
"I'm from Missouri," said Shoop, with a hard laugh. "You got to show me that he's like you say, or " Sundown leveled his gun at Shoop. "I ain't lyin' to you, Bud. Sinker was me friend. And I ain't lyin' when I says that the fust fella that tries to tech him crosses over afore he does." Some one laughed. Corliss touched Shoop's arm and whispered to him.

Perhaps you remember my father a sweet-natured, wiry, active man, incapable of conceiving an interest in life that was divorced from respectability. I think he had some imagination, for now and then he was troubled about my becoming a loafer. However, he certainly kept it in control: I was to become a great mill owner.
