Diana has been a faithful friend. She's been over every day to cheer my lonely pillow. But oh, I shall be so glad when I can go to school for I've heard such exciting things about the new teacher. The girls all think she is perfectly sweet. Diana says she has the loveliest fair curly hair and such fascinating eyes.
Also, your pa is hungry. Please get Curly and me all the ham shanks and greens they is in the house. "And, besides," says he when Bonnie Bell was going out, "pull the front door wide open tonight. Take the lock out and hide William where they can't any of my horny-handed friends find him. They'll be in here tonight, a bunch of them, to sort of celebrate our glorious victory.
We drove on quite a little way yet. "Curly," says he at last, "I've made my talk. If any man says I married Bonnie Bell for anything but love the best and cleanest of love he's making the cruelest mistake in the world; and he's a damned liar too. You ask her, Curly." "What's that?" says I. "Me ask her? I didn't come for that. I couldn't look at her. That girl can get my goat any station.
Three nights after that Curly rolled himself in his blanket and went to sleep. Then the other punchers rose up softly and began to make preparations. Ranse saw Long Collins tie a rope to the horn of a saddle. Others were getting out their six-shooters. "Boys," said Ranse, "I'm much obliged. I was hoping you would. But I didn't like to ask."
She felt grateful, as if for a personal favour, when she heard Roger speaking to Aimee the moment afterwards in the tender tones of brotherly friendliness; and presently these two were sufficiently engaged in a tete-a-tete conversation to allow Molly and the squire to go on talking. 'He's sturdy chap, is not he? said the squire, stroking the little Roger's curly head.
"To be sure," agreed his brother. "Let's go in and learn our A B C's and then we can go home and tell mamma all about it. This is an adventure, all right." "I believe it is," said Curly.
"But I know the way over there alone, and after I have taken you back to Uncle Jim's, I am going over there alone. Wait till I get my coat. I don't wear it very often, but we'll just show you that we can dress up for the evening here, the same as they do in the States." As Dan Anderson, his head bent down and his hands in his pockets, crossed the arroyo alone, he met Curly coming the other way.
"I'm a good deal tempted to help you out, that is, if it is to the interest of the public that the story be told." "It will interest the public. You can bet on that!" Curly laughed sardonically. Then he rose, with a yawn. "But it's late and we'll finish the story to-morrow night. Judge, I have a hunch you're my man! I sabez there's heap devil in you, if we could once get you mad."
'You've saved Nobbles' life, he said, 'and I shan't never, never forget it. Curly grinned and departed. 'They've no manners, those street boys, said Margot; 'but it was a kind thing to do for you, Master Bobby. 'He's going to be one of my friends, said Bobby firmly; 'and I shall go and see him to-morrow at his crossing. He accomplished this, for he persuaded Miss Robsart to go with them.
"You're improving!" exclaimed Curly, "Dignity's an awful thing to take into the desert for a vacation." "Let's go to bed," suggested Mack, and in the fewest possible minutes the camp was at rest. The trail for the next two days grew rougher and rougher, while the brilliancy of color in rock and sand increased in the same ratio as the aridity.
