Sometimes it was a good while before the feller ridin' him could get him around to where he begun to run.

"I guess it'll be all" he broke off, and glanced out prairieward, but went on almost immediately, "a settlin'. I've seen you kind o' riled. And I've seen Jake." He stood up and peered into the darkness while he talked in his even monotone. "Yup," he went on, "ther's ways o' dealin' wi' men an' ways.
