"What!" cried Roland, his heart for the first time warming towards the despised horse-thief, while even Nathan surveyed him with something like complacency, "you are following my poor cousin then? You were not brought here a prisoner?"
Laura laughed incredulously. She had too high an opinion of her friend's business ability to believe the danger very serious. Pointedly, she said: "Oh, I guess you'll get along all right." Elfie rose, and, going to the mirror, gave her hat and hair a few deft little touches, after which she surveyed herself critically. With serene self-satisfaction, she said: "Oh, that's a cinch!
While passing through Las Cruces he met Porous Johnson and Silent Somes, who were thirsty and who proclaimed that fact, whereupon he relieved them of their torment and, looking forward to more treatment of a similar nature, they gladly accompanied him without asking why or where.

He loved, esteemed, and respected only himself; but that self he loved, esteemed, and respected as a god! In fact, he had now, realized as completely as possible, in his own person, that almost superhuman ideal he had conceived in the most critical hour of his life.

"Were you that chap's observer? Well, you must have photos, plans or something." Then Blaine coolly proceeded to search both men, the dead pilot and the one about to die.

"Guess you can't take care of hosses in no sech togs as them." "I've got some others. I'm going to learn to doctor a little, too, if I can." The man surveyed him, then he burst into a great laugh. "Well," said he, "when I git the measles I'll call you in." "All right," said James, "I won't charge you a red cent. I'll doctor you and all your children and your wife for nothing."
