They’re a couple of sharpshooters.

You been wounded a couple of times.

Jack poured out a couple of drinks.

He had a couple of friends with him.

John had a couple of handlers with him.

You’ll be all right in a couple of days.

We had a couple of drinks without saying anything.

“I seen her a couple of times,” the negro went on.

John and Morgan were sitting on a couple of chairs.

I looked over a couple of times and Jack wasn’t sleeping.

There were a couple of broads sitting at the next table to us.

“He’s out in the barn with a couple of his customers,” I said.

He had a couple of his health-farm patients with the gloves on.

I got them tied up like a couple of girl friends in the convent.

“John Collins is out with a couple of friends to see Jack,” I said.

“Kircubbin,” George says, “and if he does, save me a couple of tickets.”

They sent it through to him without a word and he rode a couple of times.

I lifted the bathrobe off Jack and he leaned on the ropes and flexed his knees a couple of times and scuffed his shoes in the rosin.

“You go out and buy me a Sportsman, will you, Joe?” my old man said, and handed me a couple of soldi without looking away from Holbrook.

I remember the way he’d pull on a rubber shirt over a couple of jerseys and a big sweat shirt over that, and get me to run with him in the forenoon in the hot sun.

The town ain’t so much, but there’s a lake and a swell forest that we used to go off bumming in all day, a couple of us kids, and my old man made me a sling shot and we got a lot of things with it but the best one was a magpie.

Then a couple of guys came in and one of them patted me on the back and then went over and looked at my old man and then pulled a sheet off the cot and spread it over him; and the other was telephoning in French for them to send the ambulance to take him out to Maisons.

George and I went out to the gate and I was trying to stop bawling and George wiped off my face with his handkerchief and we were standing back a little ways while the crowd was going out of the gate and a couple of guys stopped near us while we were waiting for the crowd to get through the gate and one of them was counting a bunch of mutuel tickets and he said, “Well, Butler got his, all right.”
