Hogan's heart will break if you don't say first thing that he looks better than he ever did in his life." "Why! How is it that Hogan has him again? I don't understand." "Why? You can't go without a horse, man, and as commanding officer of the whole crowd you would be entitled to your choice. I thought you'd rather have Dandy, and so said.
The recognition was mutual. "You here?" he exclaimed, in surprise. "So it seems," said Joe. "Is it a good place?" "I like it." "Who's your boss?" "Myself." "You don't mean to say this is your own place?" "Yes, I do." "Well, I'll be blowed!" ejaculated Hogan, staring stupidly at Joe. Joe enjoyed Hogan's amazement. He felt rather proud of his rapid progress.
For some time past there has come a strange man named Vincent, and his wife, to reside in the neighborhood, and this fellow in conjunction with the Hogans, was managing some secret proceedings which no one can penetrate. Now, it appears that Hogan's wife, who has been kept out of this secret, got Nanny Peety to set her father to work in order to discover it.
A man had climbed out of the after hatch and was walking rapidly towards them, a rifle in his hands, while at his thigh swung a Colt. He watched the two seamen closely and caught sight of Hogan's twinkling blue eyes, and a smile quivered about his mouth. Hogan shut and opened one eye and went on working.
It was locked, the key gone. There was no time to wait and hunt for that missing piece of metal doubtless safely hidden in Hogan's pocket, or else thrown overboard; he must break a way in; but first he must explain to her, so as to spare her the sudden fright of such an assault.

The colorful mazes of the Sargasso were as irritating as flowered wall paper in a sickroom. Even Hogan's and Deschaillon's spirits sagged under the brilliant sweltering sameness. The navvies moved about half naked, and burned brown as nuts.
"Feather-headed women like me, Diddums, hunger to hear that sort of thing, hunger to hear it all the time. On that theme they want their husbands to be like those little Japanese wind-harps that don't even know how to be silent." "Then why did you say, about a month ago, that marriage was like Hogan's Alley, the deeper one got into it the tougher it was?"

Despite himself, Galliard winced, and his glance fell before Hogan's.
He'd have stepped over to Hogan's and glanced just glanced, that's all at the premises, and that's enough. See everything? Yes, sir, to the last little detail; and he'll know more about that place than the Hogans would know in seven years. Next, he would sit down on the bunk, just as ca'm, and say to Mrs. Hogan Say, Ham, consider that you are Mrs. Hogan. I'll ask the questions; you answer them."
