“You should never set yourself to stop Handy Baker once he’s in his stride. Handy Baker is a runaway coach and four. Handy can take on three coolers a day.”
Goose's statement reflects Baker's love for girls and his ability to delete his tracks. For instance, when Baker meets Mary, he sweet-talks her, and she falls for his trap. Later, Baker impregnates Mary. Paradoxically, Mary does not know that Baker is a married man back in England. Consequently, Goose is saying her statement to warn girls who might fall for Baker.
“All the camps might laugh at you then, Mr. Brewer.”
Despite people believing that she is a petty thief, Mary is Baker's lover. When they visit Goose at her tent, Mary reminds Mr. Brewer that their purpose is to seek favors from Goose but not seduction. Therefore, Mary reminds Mr. Brewer that people will laugh at him if he insists on seduction tactics.
“We humbly beg your kind applause.”
Mary murmurs the statement to remind Ralph that there is nothing that moves him like a loudness of intelligence on his preferred face. While speaking these words, Mary frowns creatively to create an impression of appreciation.
