"Say something, somebody, quick!" she cried, when her nerves would bear no more. "Well, I do think it's awfully good, Dell," began the Countess. "By golly, I don't see how you done that without seein' it happen," exclaimed Slim, looking very dazed and mystified. "That's a Diamond Bar cow," remarked J. G., abstractedly. "That outfit never does git half their calves.
"Good mind to go right straight into this ere house and try it will, by golly!" he added, leaping nimbly from his pony, swinging his panniers on his arm, and hurrying off round for the back door. "Don't molest the poor simpleton any more, but disperse to your quarters," said the officer, now waving his ratan to the scattering crowd, and resuming his walk up the street.
"I'll gib him some ob my rations," promised Washington. "He eats jest laik white folks, dat Shanghai do. Golly! I'se glad I kin take him. I'll go out an' make a cage." "What will you I do with the rest of your fowls, Wash?" asked Mark. "Oh, a feller named Jim Johnson'll keep 'em fer me till we gits back. Jim's a cousin ob mine."
"She's on the table come on in." "I don't know if you're home with the door shut like that," Swan explained, coming up to the cabin. "I chased a coyote from Rock City to here, and by golly, he's going yet! I'll get him sometime, maybe. He's smart, but you can beat anything with thinking if you don't stop thinking.

The brush was thick and filled the gully, probably from end to end. Riding through it was impossible, and hunting it through on foot would be nothing but suicide, with a man like Blink hidden away in its depths.
