Yere we- alls finds ourse'fs possessed of an onexpected child of tender years; an' the question nacheral enough is, whatever'll we do with it? "'Let's maverick it, says Dan Boggs, who's a mighty good man, but onthinkful that a-way.
"Did you look at that welt on the stranger's head?" "Sure." "Did you see a little cut in the middle of the welt?" "Come to think of it, I sure did." "Well, Sandersen, how d'you make out that a gun butt would make a cut like that?" "What are you driving at, Whitey?" "I'm just discounting the stranger," said Whitey. "I dunno what other talents he's got, but he's sure a fine nacheral liar."
Let's get in the evidence and hear the witness and make out the case. If we decide they ain't enough agin' Gaspar to hang him, then let him go. If we decide to stretch him up, we'll feel a pile better about it and nearer to the truth." He went on steadily in spite of the groans of disapproval on every side. "Why, this is all laid out nacheral for a courtroom.
He allows it's the box that a-way makin' malev'lent bluffs at him. An' say, pards, it would have made you proud of your country an' its starry flag to see Augustus arch himse'f for war on them o'casions. "'Not that Augustus is malignant or evil disposed, nacheral.
Nothin' bar tyin' Slim Jim into the saddle, like the hoss- back Injuns does to papooses, could save him. "An' aside from nacheral awk'ardness an' a light an' fitful seat in a saddle, it looks like this Slim Jim has baleful effects on a bronco. To show you: One mornin' we ropes up for him a pony which has renown for its low sperits.
"'The first p'inter I has that I'm up ag'inst it, bang! goes a Winchester, an' throws my off leader dead ag'inst the trail. Thar's no goin' 'round the dead hoss, an' bar the nacheral rarin' an' pitchin' of the other five on beholdin' of the ontimely end of their companion that a-way, the whole business comes to a dead stop. ""Hold up your hands!" says a voice up the rocks on one side.
Mebby-So's laid up yet. He got it pretty bad." "Well, I reckon they ain't goin' to be no more fightin' 'bout cattle and sheep. I stopped by to the Loring ranch. Ole man Loring was sure ugly, so I reckon he's feelin' nacheral ag'in. He was like to get mad at me for stopping but his gal, Nell, she smoothed down his wool and asked me to stay and eat.

He seemed a heap more nacheral when I pretended he was ’Black Ranger, the Pirate King.’ His language came in handy, and his cartridge-belt and pistol all came in Black Ranger’s outfit.
If I had, most likely I'd pitched the conversation in a lower key. However, by this time, I'm quarrelsome as a badger; an' a willin'ness for trouble subdooes an' sets its feet on my nacheral cowardice an' holds her down. "'Dave, you-all makes me nervous, says Boggs, with a flash of heat, 'settin' thar lyin' about your timidity that a-way.
"Wait a minute. I'm goin' to dig round like I was goin' to take a sleep and find these here eggs. Then I'm goin' to count 'em nacheral, and pile 'em handy to you. Then we rig up a deal like we was gamblin' for 'em, to kind of pass the time. If that don't git them two coyotes interested, why, nothin' will.
