"Settlers up here are a confounded nuisance," went on Welton after a while. "They're always hollering for what they call their 'rights. That generally means they try to hang up our drive. The average mossback's a hard customer. I'd rather try to drive nails in a snowbank than tackle driving logs through a farm country.
"You got a tough throat," observed the rancher. "First I ever see that didn't choke on a swig of that. But you youngsters has the advantage of a sound lining for your innards." He helped himself from the flask, coughed heavily, and then pounded home the cork. "How's things up Whiteacre way?" "Fair to middlin'," said Jig. "They ain't hollering for rain so much as they was."
But I didn't get time to think about it. Just as I'd shouted two horsemen scrambled out of the bush beside me. One of 'em was Fyles. The other I didn't know. He'd got three stripes on his arm." "Sergeant McBain," put in the woman quietly. "You know him?" Kate shrugged. "We all know him about here." Bill nodded. "Fyles cursed me for a fool for hollering out.
He was dropping his r's like a Southerner, and you know how much of a Southerner Johnny is Johnstown, Pa.; and he was hollering around about his little three-year-old, standard-bred, and registered bay mare out of Highland Belle, by Homer Wilkes, with a mark of twenty-one, that could out-trot any thing of her age that ever champed a bit. Did you get that, Jim?
I swan there was looking glasses in every corner big ones, man's size. I remember Cap'n Jonadab hollering to me that night when he was getting ready to turn in: "For the land's sake, Barzilla!" says he, "turn out them lights, will you? I ain't over'n' above bashful, but them looking glasses make me feel's if I was undressing along with all hands and the cook."
Twelve yoke of bulls to the team; lead, swing, and trail waggons for each, as big as houses on wheels. You don't see the like of that in this country. Down the street they come, the dust flying, whips cracking and the lads hollering 'Whoa haw, Mary up there! Wherp! whoa haw. "And those fellers had picked up dry throats, walking in the dust. Also, they had a month's wages aching in their pockets.
"Well, in that case, and all jokes aside, I'd a heap rather have the running uh the Double-Crank than be President and have all the newspapers hollering how 'President Billy Boyle got up at eight this morning and had ham-and-eggs for his breakfast, and then walked around the block with the Queen uh England hanging onto his left arm, or anything like that But what I can't seem to get percolated through me is why, in God's name, the Double-Crank wants to sell."
"Here we are, on Tom Tiddler's ground, picking up gold and silver." "Wait till we get it before you start hollering," said Masterson gruffly. "What time will we start over?" asked Sam. "About midnight. It will be plenty of time." "But how are we going to locate it?" objected Eph.
Dead fokes hists up de behime leg, en hollers wahoo!" Edgar, according to Brer Rabbit's ideas, was very dead indeed, for he kept on "histing up de behime leg, en hollering wahoo!" with the full power of his lungs. By this time the alarm had spread, and there was the sound of steps upon a gravel walk, which resulted in the appearance of the supercilious footman.
"Neither one," answered Laddie. "It isn't anybody." "Nobody pulling Mun Bun's hair?" asked Russ. "Then what's he hollering for?" "'Cause the spinning wheel's pulling it. Look! He's caught in one of the spinning wheels, and his leg is tangled in one of the string belts we left on, and he made the wheel go around himself." Russ dropped his candle-mould gun and ran over to his little brother.
