When he says it, however, I merely remarks that while I'm grateful to him as mockin'-birds, money after all ain't no object with me; an', pullin' off my nigh moccasin, I pours some two pounds of specie onto the blankets. ""Which I packs this in my boot," I observes, "to put mysc'f in mind I've got a roll big enough to fill a nose-bag over to Howard's store."
Spike tenderly caressed his nose with a glove and tried to look down upon it. The swelling already showed to his oblique gaze. "Say, kid," he demanded, irritably, "what's the big idea? Is this murder or jest a friendly bout? You better behave or I'll stop pullin' my punches."
But yer might as well be pullin' the old feller 'isself out of his grave, as goin' round killin' 'im every night fresh, as you be doin'. Let 'im be. Skelintons is skelintons." Dempsey, feeling rather indignantly that his pains had been wasted, and his audience was not worthy of him, rose to take his departure. Halsey's face cleared. He turned to look at his wife, and she winked in return.
"Oh, I'se mighty glad to see yer, Mah'sr Harry!" said he, pulling at his horse's bridle in such a way as to make him nearly run into Selim and Harry, who, however, managed to avoid him and the rest of the cavalcade by moving off to the other side of the road. "I was jist a-thinkin' uv gittin' off and lettin' em go 'long they own se'ves. I never seed sich hosses fur twistin' up and pullin' crooked.

"Which o' you gents will begin dis pullin'?" he called. "Now, sahs, come on." Pink pushed his horse towards the edge of the crowd, but he was hailed with dissuasive cries. "Aw, hold on, Pink." "Don' be so bigoty." "Who you-all think ye are?" "Where's Bob Morgan?" "Yes, Bob's the feller!" "O-oh, Bob!" It was their tribute to the Doctor, this giving precedence to his son, and Bob so understood it.
"I'm pullin' for you," he whispered. "There's jus' one way to do it." Aloud he repeated. "It's important, your majesty. An' there's a lady here." "Lady?" shouted the old man, his voice fairly breaking with the emotion that went into it. "Lady? In my house? What do you mean?" Then, without waiting for an answer, "I don't care who she is or what she is or what the two of you want. Get out!
If you don't call it takin' a chance pullin' off a trick like this one that's comin', jest try it yourself." "He handles men easy," asserted Pete, recalling Brent's rather fatherly advice in regard to Texas and the opportunity for a young man to go straight.

"He saved himself from goin' into the water, an' it was a good thing that he did, for he was able to help in pullin' us out.
