And coming back to the boy she pursued the only course possible. "I I don't think I quite understand," she said. Ike readily agreed with her. "I'm durned sure you can't," he cried heartily. "They jest think it a rotten kind of a job handin' a red-ha'r'd gal a few words an' an a'mighty fine hunk o' gold. That's cos they ain't been dragged up jest right.
He eyed her with a quizzical and appraising look before he replied: "You favor the Old Man as much as if you was made out of the mud that was left when they was done workin' on him. Your eyes, your mouth, your chin the way you walk and stand the easy style you set a horse. As the sayin' is, 'You're the spit out of his mouth. God A'mighty!

Sperrits don't walk about the prairie 'ustling cattle, an' I guess 'is 'and was an a'mighty solid one, as my jaw felt when 'e gagged me.

Now she could have all the things that these women have Lord A'mighty she could lay abed every day till noon if she wanted to! But you see? it got her those hard, lonely, grinding years took her. She's" he shrunk from the terrible word and faltered out "her mind's not " There was a sobbing little flutter in Virginia's throat. In a dim way she was glad to see that the girls were going.
"Wouldn't hurt her to get out there in the kitchen and help with the cooking," he criticised. Then suddenly he laughed. "Shucks a'mighty, as Pop says! with those two girls on the ranch I'll gamble Dave Truman has a full crew of men that are plumb willing to work for their board!"
