"No poisoned meat gits into my stummick if I know it." "Bosh!" scoffed McKay. "It's perfectly wholesome though it's tough as a rubber boot."

"I advise you to forget about the poison hereafter and eat what is put before you, even if it stinks."
"I didn't so much mind packin' warm water mornin's for her to wash her face, or buttonin' her waist up the back, or changin' her stirrups every few miles or gittin' off to see if it was a fly on her horse's stummick that made him switch his tail, but I got so weak I couldn't hardly set in the saddle from answerin' questions and tryin' to laugh at her jokes.
