Well, this was all pleasant enough, to be sure, while it lasted; but inhuman beings is born to misfortune, an' Bill's divarshin was not to last always. I never could ondherstand why in the world it was Bill fell in love wid HER, above all the girls in the country.
The year following, Billy Knapp, Alfred, and another man named Jim Buckley took across to the Hills the only wagon-train that dared set out that summer. This happened at the time Billy Knapp drove stage between Pierre and Deadwood. I think you can still see the stage in Buffalo Bill's show.
And then he used to tell 'is missis that he was drove to the pub because his 'ome was so uncomfortable. Just at that time things was at their worst Silas Winch, who 'appened to be ashore and 'ad got Bill's address from a pal, called to see 'im.
"I ain't much seein' to kids," cried Sandy, "but I ken do most anythin' else." A flicker of a smile crept into Bill's averted eyes, while Sunny grinned broadly to see the way the man was now literally falling over himself to follow the leadership of Wild Bill. "Wal, it ain't no use in saying things yet, but if you're dead set on joining this Zip Trust, I guess you can.
Before he could recover it Reddin had stooped, secured a lower grip, and in a moment hurled his adversary clear over his shoulder. A roar of applause went up from the spectators; and Goodine, after trying to rise, lay still and groaned, "I'm licked, Jim. I've had enough." The boss soon pronounced that Bill's shoulder was dislocated, and that he'd have to go back to the settlements to be doctored.

"We don't take what don't belong to us." "Cow-bells, for instance," put in Bill's hired hand, with a provoking intonation. Jim stopped and his face twisted with rage; Ike paused a little farther on down the path. Jim came closer. "Say, I know what you're driving at and you're a liar, and for a leather cent I'd lick you like hell!" "You can't do it. You don't weigh enough."

Bill, as I say, was a merry sort, always ready wi' a joke, and that's apt to get a man friends, and they searched for 'im 'igh and low, but neither 'ide nor 'air o' poor Bill did they find. At last, one evenin' I 'appened to pass the big oak the 'oller oak, and mindin' Bill's words, thinks I 'ere's to see if 'tis empty as Bill said.
"Turned," continued Yuba Bill, severely, "turned into a restyourant waiter, a garsong! Eh, Alfonse, bring me a patty de foy grass and an omelette, demme!" "Dear old chap!" said Islington, laughing, and trying to put his hand over Bill's bearded mouth, "but you YOU don't look exactly like yourself! You're not well, Bill."
