Ain’t too many men as goes round Tubacca throwin’ out good money thataway. ’Less it’s ringin’ down on th’ bar, or slidin’ ’cross some table ’cause they found out as how they was holdin’ Jacks against some other fella’s Kings. You want anything—you jus’ holler, Mister Kirby!" "Mister?" Drew thought he did not have the advantage of Callie by more than four or five years. "Oh—Captain Kirby, maybe?
"I always liked you fine, Tom," the convict pleaded desperately. "Me 'n' you was always good pals. You wouldn't do me dirt thataway now. If you knew the right o' things how that Kelly kep' a-devilin' me, how Whaley was layin' to gun me when he got a chanct, how I stood up for the McRae girl an' protected her against him. Goddlemighty, man, you ain't aimin' to kill me like a wolf!"
There's a sort of spring thataway" again he pointed, invisibly to her "and along it runs a band of willers say a hundred yards from the house. It all ain't much. I never ought to of brought you here a-tall, but like I said, we'll do the best we can. Please don't be afraid, or nothing."
Now I wouldn't go for to fling that pail at me, Swing. You might bust it, and yore carelessness with crockery thataway has already cost you ten dollars and six bits." This was too much for the ruffled Swing. Waving the pail he pursued his tormentor round the hotel and into the front doorway. Racey fled up the stairs.
"Good dog," he continued, presumably addressing a canine friend without, "leave Swing's nice new boot alone, will you? Don't go gnawin' at it thataway. It ain't a bone." Swing, pulling on his pants, left the room, hopping physically and mentally. Racey rested both elbows on the sill and waited happily for his comrade to appear beneath him.
"Jim," asked Clark casually, as they rattled through the jasmine-scented night, "how do you keep alive?" The Jelly-bean paused, considered. "Well," he said finally, "I got a room over Tilly's garage. I help him some with the cars in the afternoon an' he gives it to me free. Sometimes I drive one of his taxies and pick up a little thataway. I get fed up doin' that regular though." "That all?"
'Pologizin' to me afteh what I 'lowed to do!" "We'll be good friends, Jest. The Prophet here and I are good friends, too. Aren't we, Parson?" "I hearn say, Missy," the Prophet said, slowly, picking his words, "I hearn say you've a power and a heap of book learning! What favoured yo' thataway?" "Oh, I read lots!" she exclaimed, surprised by the sudden shift of thought. "Somehow, I've read lots!"
But his mirth got a sudden check as McVey nodded his head knowingly. "Yes, I heered about it; 'twer Matlock, an' he's been talkin' a heap disrespec'ful about how he broke it off in yuh, oveh to Cheyenne. Says as how he is seven hundred dollars nearer even with yuh. I didn't think yuh'd let that coyote soak yuh thataway." His words were distinctly reproachful. Douglass smiled mysteriously.
"The railroad would be a good thing for us for the furnace. You know you said it would." He shook his head slowly. "I reckon we mustn't look at it thataway, Martha. I'm going to stand by my neighbor, like I'd expect him to stand by me. Let me get my gun; the boys'll be there ahead o' me, and they won't know what to do." "Caleb!
But it was comical, you stickin' yore head up through the hay thataway. I'll stand pat on that, an' I ain't a-going to fight about it either." The soldier's dignity melted to a grin. "Did you say drinks was on you, Jumbo?" After Big Bill had fed his horse they went away arm in arm to see what Dolan could do for them in the way of liquid refreshment.
