"You ever stop to wonder," he finally inquired, "if it ain't kind o' flirtin' with danger knowin' so much about me and my freightin' business?" "No, you 're doing the coquetting in this case, I guess!" "Then I ain't standin' for no rivals not on this coast!" The two men, so dissimilar in aspect and yet so alike in their accidental attitudes of an uncouth belligerency, sat staring at each other.

Barney and my father were here before dinner, and they've just telephoned they were coming back!" "Coming back! That's the best argument you could make for my staying!"
