I hear you've been a real old cowpuncher, Buck.
By George, ain't that a bow wave for you, sir, and just see our wake astern!"
Mrs. Eaton had entered silently during the discussion, but of course had come, as every other woman had that afternoon, with views to be expressed upon the subject.

Don't git your feelin's too high, 'cause it may have been wiped off the face of the earth." A little later he uttered another cry, and this was the most exultant of all. "There she is," he said, pointing ahead. "She ain't been wiped away by nobody or nothin'. Don't you see her, that big, stout cabin ahead?" "I do," said young Allen joyously, "and it's the Inn of the Panther as sure as you live."
"Och, well," confessed Mrs. Wackernagel, "I just keep astin' him will he have more, so I can hear him speak his manners so nice." She laughed aloud at her own vanity. "You took notice of it too, Tillie, ain't? You can't eat fur lookin' at him!"

The Ranger made no answer, but walked off to where his horse was tethered and rode away. The other party without a moment's delay struck off to the trail leading to the mill. The distance was not great, but Wilbur had lost all count of time.
"I want ten thousand dollars to steer Cayuse away." McCoppet slowly shook his head. "You ain't a hog, Larry, you're a Rockyfeller. Five thousand, cash on the nail, if you show me you can steer Cayuse so far off the trail he'll never get on it again." Five thousand dollars was a great deal of money to Trimmer. Ten thousand was far in excess of his real expectations.
