If they didn't have him to speak in the prayer-meetin's, an' give the Lord some information about the spiritooal state of this town on foreign missions, an' encourage Him by admittin' He'd done pretty well, as far as He's gone, why, we couldn't have no prayer-meetin's at all." Most of us have our personal grievances, as a vantage-point for eloquence in behalf of the mass.
But as I picked it up and handed it to en, I says, says I, 'Mr Nanjivell, I says, 'at this rate I don't wonder your not joinin'-up wi' the Reserve. . . . What's more, naybours, I don't mind admittin' to you that after the man had paid an' left, I slipped to the door an' keeked out after him an' that story of his about it bein' his rent-money was all a flam.
I'm wonderin', though, why all them hired hands should be givin' us the merry face. I don't mind admittin' that this treasure-huntin' stuff does get you. Course, while I was only an outsider, with no ticket even for a brokerage bite at the gate receipts, I wasn't runnin' any temperature over the prospects. But now it was different.
"Will Banion and Bill Jackson has went on to Californy, Miss Molly," said he. "You know why." Mollie nodded. "Ye'd orto! Ye told him." "Yes, I did." "I know. Him an' me had a talk. Owin' you an' me all he'll ever make, he allowed to pay nothin'! Which is, admittin' he loves you, he don't take no advice, ter finish that weddin' with another man substertuted.
I guessed it would be an easy thing, and it is." "Who are you?" asked the celebrated entrepreneur, much distressed to find himself in a theatrical situation that was painfully real. "Don't ask questions of yer betters, Professor, an' you won't get hurt. Howsomever, yer bound t' hear at The Mills all about Dan Heeley, so I don't mind admittin' I'm little Danny."
But for the sake of argument admittin' I was drunk, if you object to the singin' and talkin', what do you recommend a man to do when he's drunk?" "I utterly despise a man that gets drunk!" The words came with an angry vehemence, and for many minutes the Texan rode in silence while the bit chains clinked and the horses' hoofs thudded the ground dully.
"Quit that," said the Southerner, "or I'll break your neck!" The eye of a man is the prince of deadly weapons. Trampas looked in the Virginian's, and slowly rose. "I didn't mean " he began, and paused, his face poisonously bloated. "Well, I'll call that sufficient. Keep a-standin' still. I ain' going to trouble yu' long. In admittin' yourself to be a liar you have spoke God's truth for onced.
It was certainly comfortin' to hear the way she went on about it; but it was a little too cold-blooded for my nerves, 'cause I hadn't done a thing this time but make one small suggestion; so we finally compromised by admittin' that now an' again, I was picked out to be the nail on the finger of Fate.

War makes cowards of yer, that's the 'ole truth o' the matter, I don't care what yer say. I didn't know what fear was afore I joined the army. I know now, you bet! I'm a bloody coward now I don't mind admittin' it. There's things I used ter do what I wouldn't dare do now.

Hadley says so too.
