Otherwise, not bein' watched, an' crazy that a-way, he's liable to come stampedin' over to the Red Light, or some'ers else, any time, an' skeer us up some. "'He's a world-beater, says Jack one day, when he comes over for a drink. 'He's shorely four kings an' an ace.
It's a good straight camp, Wolfville is; but business is business, an' we ain't pirootin' 'round none, givin' nothin' away, be we, Doc? "'Not much, says Doc.
