And then, at the end of it, he'd be borrying your tobacco or anything else you'd got. But I never would've thought that he'd steal Billy's mule that's gitting pretty low, it strikes me." "He never stole my mule!" burst out Wilhelmina angrily. "I expect him back here any time. And when he does come, and you hear about his mine, I'll bet you change your tune!" "Ho!
Bucket said he could have saved her if the 'Siety would've let him. He'd 'a just swung her up until she got well." "How?" asked Tommy, much interested. "What Society?" asked his father. Johnny answered the last question first. "'Pervention of Cruelty," he said, shortly. "Oh," said Tommy's father. "I know how she broke her leg," said Johnny. "How did she break her leg?" inquired Tommy.
Lone Wolf would've had our ha'r long ago." "But how did ye manage to fool the pack into giving us a chance to craap out?" "That was easy enough when yer understand it." "I thought it would come aisier to a man who understood how to do it than it did to one who didn't know anything about it."

Guess it's all our fault, and we're willin' to right it. We don't know yuh, but yo're O.K., son." They shook hands warmly. The Kid learned that the oldest of the three was Anton.
Now Tom he got all that notion out of Walter Scott's book, which he was always reading. And it WAS a wild notion, because in my opinion he never could've raised the men, and if he did, as like as not he would've got licked. I took the book and read all about it, and as near as I could make it out, most of the folks that shook farming to go crusading had a mighty rocky time of it.
If I had been able to get the information an instant earlier, my mind would've been easier, captain, but Hello!" From the ford an abrupt clamour of voices interrupted.

A keen sense of the emptiness of her own arms stirred in her an envy of the complacent young matron standing at the foot of the little white bed. Perhaps Fred would've been different if they'd had a little one. "I'd love to have a baby," she breathed discontentedly. "But "
And when they got to that place ... why ... there was a ship there. Then." He paused, frowning. "It would've been standing on an artificial shoal place, about thirty yards from a shaft that was the mouth of a mine. Uranium. And there's been a lot of uranium taken outta there!
"Maria, you always was so much smarter'n me in writin' poetry," admitted Matilda. "It would've bin ever so much nicer. But it's too late now to do it over agin."
