I'd have been there yet, only they comes and lugs off all the desks and things and makes me give up the keys. Say, it was a tough deal, all right. It was some jay that stirred up all the muss, howlin' for his coin that he thought he'd lost. But look at the hole I'm in, after bein' so brash to Mr. Pepper about stayin' on the lid, and him lettin' me write my own valuation ticket!
Westall laughed at the idea. "Jeff, you and your friends are too anxious to do something for the cause," said he.

But first we want to put this prisoner where he will be safe."
'My pretty lamb! mourned the cold stern servant, as she arranged her coverings; 'this is the sorest brash we have had together yet, and I doubt whether ye'll win through with it. May He temper the blast that sends it.
They seemed almost imbued with life. As I went into the office at eight o'clock to go to work, the night man remarked that I must be feeling pretty brash; my spirits seemed so high.

"You won't do nothin', Jack, 'cause I'd gouge your eyes out." "Why, lovesoul, d' you suppose I'd be talking up as brash as this to a bid, stwong man like oo if I didn't have a gun handy?" "Yuh, I guess so, lil sunbeam.
If you'll hop in here with me, squire, I'll ride you right over there now. There's enough men already gathered to make up a jury, I reckin." "I I ain't well," demurred the squire. "I've been sleepin' porely these last few nights. It's the heat," he added quickly. "Well, suh, you don't look very brash, and that's a fact," said the constable; "but this here job ain't goin' to keep you long.
She's my rather near relation and a very dear old friend. I love her and you must know her." "Know her? Rather! Why to see her is to want on the spot to 'go' for her. She also must sit for me," "She? Louisa Brash?"

He sot de vimya'd out ober agin, but it wuz th'ee er fo' year befo' de vimes got ter b'arin' any scuppernon's.
They'll be mighty brash at first, but all they need is to be held in a little, and then they'll be a power in the Kingdom."
