Then he told more stories and pointed out the very localities where the incidents had occurred. "See that rocky peak over there? That's where the bears hole up in the winter. Network of caves, up there. King Solomon's the name the people that live here call it but it's down on the map as Grizzly Peak. Ain't any grizzlies, though black bear mostly. They're smaller and they ain't so fighty."
"It won't hurt if I tiptoe in and sit with her," he pleaded. "No, Louis. No one knows how to get her through these spells like I do. The least excitement will only prolong her pain." He trotted off then down the hotel corridor with a strut to his resentment that was bantam and just a little fighty.
He wouldn't stay a day longer than he had to, thought you could gamble on that. There the train was sliding out say, what if the fellow hadn't come, though? Such a possibility had not before occurred to Chip wouldn't the Little Doctor be fighty, though? Serve her right, the little flirt er no, he couldn't think anything against the Little Doctor, no matter what she did.
She got fighty over that, and wouldn't let the school out and wait for good weather, so I went out and told the Boyle kids to hit for home. Humpin' cats, somebody had to do something!

"Yes, I expect you would of tore the earth up all round him," Tom interrupted drily. "You boys shore are fighty, all right with your faces. What I'm interested in, is whereabouts you and Mel hunted. That hide wouldn't show up like the Devil's Tooth understand. And Scotty was bawling around like a man that's been hurt in the pocket.
