"Charley and I'll defend our rights," said Mr. Adams, stanchly. "Well," continued Mr. Grigsby, "if I'm around you can count on me. And there'll be other men who won't be inclined to stand for skullduggery. The diggin's will be put under law and order, after a bit, or else no man's life or property will be safe for a day. But until then, look out, and keep looking out." "We will," assured Mr.
I would not charge that there is "skullduggery" or "shenanagen" going on in these institutions, as the president of one of them informed me, confidentially, that he dealt on the "square," but it is a noticeable fact that the dividends received by those who do business with the banks, are almost, as it were, imperceptible.
"Huh!" Mr. Hudner snorted. "I'd like to know what the devil Cappy Ricks wants of my Unicorn when he's got her infernal sister squatting in the mud of Oakland Creek? There's something rotten in Denmark, Mr. Peasley. There always is when that old scoundrel Ricks does incomprehensible things." "Very likely he's up to some skullduggery, sir," Matt opined.
I'll bet England never knew the Revolution was a-goin' on till it was over. Old Napoleon couldn't thrash 'em, and it don't stand to reason that the Yanks could. I thought there was some skullduggery. Why, it took the Yanks four years to lick themselves. I got a book at home all about Napoleon. He was a tough cuss."
Now the chief operator in this place was a scaly sort of a cuss in fact, it was said that he had done time in the past for some skullduggery and when the horses went to the post, he stood by the switchboard and deliberately cut the pool room wire, so the report didn't go through.
These scoundrels afflict me dreadfully, because they all ultimately claim the protection of the British flag or are reported by the police for skullduggery. There is a fellow now on my hands who is threatenin' suicide. I wish to Gog and Magog that he would take to the reef or find a stick of dynamite.
Briskow sighed heavily and his brows drew together in an anxious pucker. "You'll have enough money in bank to do you." "Banks bust. I tell you the hull world's full of skullduggery. Suspicious? I should say I was! I use' to think if we had money our troubles would be over, but Lord, that's when they begin!
But to be driving a ten-dollar-a-week typewriter out of her job to be maneuvering to deprive her of a for her brilliant marriage to be lying to an old and loyal retainer who had helped Norman full as much and as often as Norman had helped him these sneaking bits of skullduggery made him feel that he had sunk indeed. But he ground his teeth together and his eyes gleamed wickedly.
I didn't give him a chance to do much talkin'. I sees I had him guessin', so I just sailed in and told him just how it happened, claimin' that the nigger told it to me after I had jumped out and grabbed him as he run past me in the road, thinkin', says I, there had been some skullduggery goin' on or he wouldn't be chasin' his legs off.
A notice to the bank in Papeete, Island of Tahiti, that you've given Captain Michael J. Murphy a letter of credit for twenty-five thousand dollars only one notice for one letter of credit. I'm up to skullduggery. Man, man, why don't you dictate? Usual courtesies good customer of your bank you know; usual flubdub. No advice regarding Miss Keenan's letter of credit just Murphy's."
