I don't know much about logging, and I shall want you to take charge of all that, but I shall want to know just why you do each thing, and if my judgment advises otherwise, my judgment goes.

He looked easily from one to another, without the least concern, and swung lightly from his horse. "Much obliged. Glad to accept your hospitality. But about this young man here he's not exactly a friend of mine a mere pick-up acquaintance, in fact. You mustn't accept him on my say-so. Of course, you know I'm all right, but I can't guarantee him," Buck drawled, with magnificent effrontery.
Frightened though she was, her gaze held steadily to his. It was the same instinct in her that makes one look a dangerous wild beast straight in the eye. "What's got into you?" he demanded sullenly.

"Letting a girl do as she pleases isn't bringing up at all. That child should have a strong hand to guide her. Every child should. And me, who could do it, ain't allowed no say-so."
I'm full of an idea for that community opera scheme and I'm ready to do the play from the Russian on your say-so. Lilly you cannot go now " "I can must," she said, scraping back her chair.
