Dawson, in fact, represented an unending series of pitfalls set along his wife's path by Fate, into every one of which she fell; and since we are not supposed, on pain of punishment, to do anything but keep very upright on our feet as we trudge along the dusty road of life, no doubt all those amiable stumblings will be imputed to her in the end for sin.
They'd take the crape off the door of a house in mourning if they needed it in their business. Did you sign a contract?" Kit shook his head. "Then I'm sorry for you, pardner.

"If Charley Wright don't suit, how will Robert Dunn do? I knew a man of that name once." "It's a better name than Charley Wright," said Deede Dawson. "We'll call you Robert Dunn Charley Wright. Do you know why I can't have you call yourself Charley Wight?" Dunn shook his head. "Because I don't like it," said Deede Dawson.
