Then more lightly he added, with his sunny smile, "If that big bay starts anything with me, I'll climb the corral fence pronto." Quietly, as one who faces a hard day's work, Phil went to the saddle shed where he buckled on chaps and spurs. Then, after looking carefully to stirrup leathers, cinch and latigos, he went on to the corrals, the heavy saddle under his arm.
"The hunt's over," said Franklin, looking at the dead animals. "We've enough for us all." "Yes, sir," said Curly, "we shore got meat, and got it plenty sudden. Juan, vamos, pronto!" He made signs showing that he wished the Mexican to skin and dress the buffalo, and the latter, as usual, proceeded to give immediate and unhesitating obedience.
"Here," MacRae broke in hastily, "we've got to move pretty pronto, and get across the river. That fire will be on us in five minutes. Sarge and I will gather up their horses. You keep an eye on Bevans, Piegan; he'll answer questions fast enough when I get at him."
"If that's an invitation, Dan, you're on," he answered gayly. "Just a minute, and I'll join you. I want to send a message to Sweeney." Without even looking at Meldrum to see the effect of this, Dave beckoned a Mexican standing near. "Tell the sheriff I want to see him here pronto. You win a dollar if he is back within an hour." The Mexican disappeared. Fox followed him.
"We've got to get out of this pronto," Grief whispered to Peter Gee a few minutes later, "or we'll be a pair of boiled owls. Also, I am to be tried for arson, or heresy, or leprosy, or something, in a few minutes, and I must control my wits." As they withdrew from the royal presence, Grief caught a glimpse of Sepeli, the queen.
His glances fell on the grim masks, and it was only natural that he should address himself to the only uncovered face he saw. "Sir," he said to Riley in a rapid, trembling voice, "you look to me like an honest man. Give me give me time to speak." "Make it pronto," said Riley Sinclair coldly.
"There ain't no use of holdin' out anything on you," he said. His lips straightened and his eyes bored into the little man's. There was a light in his own that made the little man stiffen. And Sanderson's voice was cold and earnest. "I'm puttin' you wise to why I've not told her," he went on. "But if you ever open your yap far enough to whisper a word of it to her I'm wringin' your neck, pronto!
"I done got married, Miss Beatrice." "You what?" "I up and got married day before yesterday," he beamed. "And who's the happy girl?" "Kitty Mason. We jes' walked to the church round the corner. Clay he stood up with us and give the bride away. It's me 'n' her for Arizona poco pronto." Beatrice felt a queer joyous lift inside her as of some weight that had gone.
"Which is well enough for you," returned Benito with a hint of sullenness. "But I am tired of clerking for Ward & Smith at two dollars a day. There's no romance in that." With a quick, restless motion he ran the golden dust through his fingers again. "I hope they are true, these stories. And if they are " he looked at the others challengingly, "then I'm off to the mines, muy pronto."
