~ ~ ~ Sentence 26 ~ ~ ~
The cowboys resting in the shade of the bunk-house rose to their feet, sauntered over and surrounded Old Heck and the Ramblin' Kid, commenting meanwhile, frankly and caustically, on the fagged condition of the broncho Skinny was on: "Must 'a' been scared, the way you run that horse," Parker, range foreman of the Quarter Circle KT, a heavy-built, sandy-complexioned man in the forties, remarked witheringly to Skinny as the cow-puncher climbed from the saddle and slid to the ground.
~ ~ ~ Sentence 69 ~ ~ ~
"The darned old cuss has had a wife sometime and run off from her and deserted her and she's pursuing him and trailing him down to earth!"
~ ~ ~ Sentence 123 ~ ~ ~
Good lord, a man wouldn't be able even to cuss freely, and without embarrassment, with a couple of women in the house and prowling around the ranch!
~ ~ ~ Sentence 219 ~ ~ ~
"From all accounts the young one expects to be made love to and if she ain't she'll probably be weeping around all the time--" "Well, I can't stand sobbin'!"
~ ~ ~ Sentence 241 ~ ~ ~
"That settles it," Skinny declared with emphasis, "I won't wear a white shirt to make love to no blamed woman--" "Chuck's locoed," the Ramblin' Kid interposed; "you don't need to have no white shirt--of course it would be better but it ain't downright necessary--women don't fall in love with shirts, it's what's inside of them."
~ ~ ~ Sentence 251 ~ ~ ~
"They don't pass it," the Ramblin' Kid interrupted laconically; "when females get too old to want to be made love to they die--" "I'd like to know where in hell a juvenile like you got your education about women!"
~ ~ ~ Sentence 254 ~ ~ ~
"Well, if I've got to make love to the young one Old Heck or Parker or somebody's got to do it for the other one," Skinny declared positively.
~ ~ ~ Sentence 263 ~ ~ ~
"Let Sing Pete make love to the widow," Bert suggested.
~ ~ ~ Sentence 266 ~ ~ ~
"Anyhow I'd kill him if he did," the Ramblin' Kid said softly; "no darned Chink can make love to a white woman, old, young or indifferent, in my presence an' live!"
~ ~ ~ Sentence 529 ~ ~ ~
Skinny was not sure but this official love-making job was going to be interesting work and Old Heck himself was uncertain whether to cuss or rejoice--sometimes he was almost sorry to-morrow would be Parker's day to love and entertain Ophelia.
~ ~ ~ Sentence 542 ~ ~ ~
"More than likely--Bet Skinny and Old Heck have had a hell of a time making love to 'em," Charley Saunders remarked.
~ ~ ~ Sentence 607 ~ ~ ~
The darned little cuss set there a minute thinking, then slid off his horse, stripped him of riding gear, flung saddle, blanket and bridle over the bars into the corral.
~ ~ ~ Sentence 674 ~ ~ ~
"Skinny's gone--he's surrendered," he said to Chuck, lying full length on the porch at his side; "look at the poor cuss with his eyes shut and grinning as if he was seeing visions of Paradise!"
~ ~ ~ Sentence 804 ~ ~ ~
Guess God himself figured it was time for that poor cuss to die!"
~ ~ ~ Sentence 924 ~ ~ ~
She wanted to say "damn!" and stamp her foot or throw something at him, lying there so completely self-possessed!
~ ~ ~ Sentence 1,487 ~ ~ ~
"I'm a damn' fool besides!"
~ ~ ~ Sentence 1,503 ~ ~ ~
From what I've heard most of 'em sort of enjoy having as many men make love to 'em as possible, but--" he paused.
~ ~ ~ Sentence 1,540 ~ ~ ~
"Thunderation!" he said aloud, "it's a good thing we fixed it up for just Skinny to make love to her--if we hadn't there'd have been a regular epidemic of bu'sted hearts on this blamed ranch!
~ ~ ~ Sentence 1,541 ~ ~ ~
There wouldn't have been a buckaroo on the place that could have kept from mooning around sentimental--unless it was th' Ramblin' Kid," he added; "that blamed cuss is too independent and indifferent to fall in love with any female!"
~ ~ ~ Sentence 1,700 ~ ~ ~
"Skinny," Charley answered for Bert, "he's fixing up to make love in style--" "Aw, the blamed idiot," Old Heck grunted, then glancing over toward Parker's bed: "--Did you notice whether Parker got him one, too, or not?"
~ ~ ~ Sentence 1,818 ~ ~ ~
"I'll be darned," the Ramblin' Kid murmured half audibly, "Old Heck is goin' to 'Uriah' Parker!"
~ ~ ~ Sentence 1,937 ~ ~ ~
Carolyn June colored the least bit, paused a moment before she replied, then said rather stiffly: "He--yes, he is probably having more fun watching us being 'officially' made love to than any other one of the entire bunch.
~ ~ ~ Sentence 2,014 ~ ~ ~
"He's the independentest darn' cuss I ever saw!"
~ ~ ~ Sentence 2,137 ~ ~ ~
By right he and Ophelia ought to be sitting there quietly making love, while Skinny and Carolyn June, in another corner of the room or out on the porch, were doing the same thing.
~ ~ ~ Sentence 2,167 ~ ~ ~
The other boys were not supposed to make love to her!
~ ~ ~ Sentence 2,319 ~ ~ ~
He had realized that any fellow officially elected to make love--especially when he didn't want to do it in the first place--ought to be allowed to go ahead and make it without having a lot of darned buckaroos butting in on the job.
~ ~ ~ Sentence 2,355 ~ ~ ~
"When I damn please!" was the independent reply.
~ ~ ~ Sentence 2,635 ~ ~ ~
"Damn that fool, Dorsey!"
~ ~ ~ Sentence 2,638 ~ ~ ~
"I think I'll hook Sabota for a few hundred on the sweepstakes, myself," Skinny replied with a good deal of feeling, "I don't like the way that dirty cuss acts any better than I like Dorsey's bragging!"
~ ~ ~ Sentence 2,823 ~ ~ ~
"He was blowing, was he?" he said with a hard laugh, "the damn--darned fool!" he corrected, remembering Ophelia at his side.
~ ~ ~ Sentence 2,860 ~ ~ ~
I don't like the filthy cuss.
~ ~ ~ Sentence 2,934 ~ ~ ~
You've done a lot of talking--now, damn you, cover your chatter with coin or shut up!" the end of the sentence coming like the crack of a whip.
~ ~ ~ Sentence 3,323 ~ ~ ~
"_Go--go_--damn 'em!
~ ~ ~ Sentence 3,327 ~ ~ ~
"_That's it--show 'em--damn 'em--show 'em what--what runnin'--what real runnin' is!_" fumbling caressingly at the mare's neck with hands numb and stiff and chuckling pitifully, insanely, while his face was drawn with agony nearly unendurable.
~ ~ ~ Sentence 3,680 ~ ~ ~
And you knowed all the time that I was getting paid to make love to you?
~ ~ ~ Sentence 4,100 ~ ~ ~
He was justified in beating Sabota up anyhow," he added, "on account of the dirty cuss hiring a feller to 'dope' him so he couldn't ride the maverick the day of the big race--" "'Dope' him?"
~ ~ ~ Sentence 4,187 ~ ~ ~
"Poor Skinny," Manilla murmured to herself as she went to the kitchen to get his order, "poor cuss--he can't keep from breaking his heart over every skirt that brushes against him, but"--and she laughed softly--"darn his ugly picture, I like him anyhow!"
~ ~ ~ Sentence 4,190 ~ ~ ~
"Give me a white shirt--number fifteen," he said to the clerk; "and be blamed sure it's the right size--they ain't worth a cuss if they're too big!"
