You could tell Greenhow Hill folk by the red-apple colour o' their cheeks an' nose tips, and their blue eyes, driven into pinpoints by the wind. Miners mostly, burrowin' for lead i' th' hillsides, followin' the trail of th' ore vein same as a field-rat. It was the roughest minin' I ever seen.
Th' prisidint was slightly to th' left in th' long grass on his fifth, but, nawthin' daunted, he took a hoe an' was well out in siven. Both players were in th' first bunker in eight, th' sicrety iv war havin' flubbed his sixth an' bein' punished f'r overdarin' on th' siventh. Th' prisidint was first out iv th' bunker at a quarther past two, his opponent followin' at exactly three sixteen.
Carse pushed to his feet, his deadly fighting smile on his face, a ray-gun in his hand. He stooped and picked up another. "Get to the Master!" roared Friday, an ebon god of war between two futilely attacking bodies. "I'm followin'!" In those red seconds, ultimate success was still too impossible a thing to even hope for. But they would at least try, then die like the men they were.
You see Mitch was foolin' because we didn't think Nancy Allen had left her money there, if she had any. But Mitch didn't want to say that we was followin' the direction of Tom Sawyer for treasure. We kept the book hid under a log, and every now and then would take it out and read it to see if we missed any of the points.
So they went on, me followin’. I’ll tell you one thing. This new hombre Shannon took up with, he was a real hard case. A short trigger man if I ever laid eye on one. Anyway we jus’ kept on, with me tryin’ to think iffen I should Injun up to git th’ drop on ’em or not.
"Dinah Shadd niver said word to Judy. 'Ye left me at half-past eight, she sez to me, 'an' I niver thought that ye'd leave me for Judy, promises, or no promises. Go back wid her, you that have to be fetched by a girl! I'm done with you, sez she, and she ran into her own room, her mother followin'. So I was alone wid those two women and at liberty to spake my sentiments.
One of those dogs that when he put his cold nose alongside your cheek and snuffed around your whiskers you loved him you couldn't help it and you knew he loved you. As for the captain the dog was never three feet from his heels. Night or day, it was just the same up on the bridge, followin' him with his eyes every time he turned, or stretched out beside his berth when he was asleep.
There's just a mite of difference where folks have ridden, there's perhaps just a few seedlin's been trodden down, an' there's a line between the trees that's just a little straighter than any animal's runway. But it's so faint that the more you think about it, the less sure you are. But, by an' by, you get so that you couldn't help followin' it in any kind of weather."
I had to give up followin' farmin'. I got it so in my leg. Why, sometimes I can't hardly walk no more." "And can't your doctor cure you?" Fairchilds asked, with a curious glance at the unkempt little man across the table. "Och, yes, he's helped me a heap a'ready. Him he's as good a doctor as any they're got in Lancaster even!" was the loyal response.
"I do not; but even if I did, by followin' up this coorse you'd put yourself in the right way of comin' to it."
