The Attache

CHAPTER VII
13/14

Warny once--warny twice--warny three times." And he repeated the feat again.
"That's the way I'll shin it up street, with a hop, skip and a jump.
Won't I make Old Bull stare, when he finds his head under my coat tails, and me jist makin' a lever of him?
He'll think he has run foul of a snag, _I_ know.

Lord, I'll shack right over their heads, as they do over a colonist; only when they do, they never say warny wunst, cuss 'em, they arn't civil enough for that.

They arn't paid for it--there is no parquisite to be got by it.

Won't I tuck in the Champaine to-night, that's all, till I get the steam up right, and make the paddles work?
Won't I have a lark of the rael Kentuck breed?
Won't I trip up a policeman's heels, thunder the knockers of the street doors, and ring the bells and leave no card?
Won't I have a shy at a lamp, and then off hot foot to the hotel?
Won't I say, 'Waiter, how dare you do that ?' "'What, Sir ?' "'Tread on my foot.' "'I didn't, Sir.' "'You did, Sir.

Take that!' knock him down like wink, and help him up on his feet agin with a kick on his western eend.
