Buck took his hand-bag and, leaving the cabin, limped slowly down to the creek.
The menace of the cotton-wood gallows outrivalled even Maudie and her moods. "Why should I pay Butts twenty dollars if I could work dat racket m'self?

Sure, I know how you feel, Herman."
"Two rooms one for the wife and m'self, one for the daughter." "Yes, sir. And about how much would you want to pay?" "How do they run?"
