He rose, stooped, and pinched her ear; for had he not known her since childhood, and had they not gathered huckleberries together in the long ago? She was sister to him just another one of his problems and nothing more. "Report on the job as soon as possible, Moira," he called to her from the gate.
"Giving a lunch to his directors, I suppose," said my friend; "lucky dog." "His directors?" I asked. "Yes, hadn't you heard? He's just cleaned up half a million or more, some new scheme for making refined sugar out of huckleberries. Isn't it amazing what shrewd ideas these big business men get hold of? They say they're unloading the stock at five hundred dollars.
Ye'd never kill no deer, nor rebels nuthor, with that kind o' shootin'. You Yanks are great on the sneak, but that's all the good it does, yet ye can't shoot fer a handful o' huckleberries." "Sneaks! Can't shoot!" roared Shorty. "I kin outshoot you or any other man in Jeff Davis's kingdom.

"Now, if we just only had some pokeberries to paint us red, we'd be real, for sure enough Indians, and we could go on the warpath and fight all the other tribes and burn a lot of them at the stake." Alice sidled up to him. "Would huckleberries do?" she asked softly. "Yes!" shouted Terry, wild with excitement. "Anything that's a colour." Alice made another trip to the refrigerator.
I always had thought that a woman wasn't much good as a boss of the roost unless she could use her tongue, but Becky showed me my mistake. Well, it's live and l'arn.
