Every time they was a fight, big er little, we used to stand out in the open and shoot at each other like soldiers AND gentlemen aimin' straight at the feller we'd picked out to kill. They tell me they was more men shot right smack between the eyes in the Civil War than all the other wars put together.
But as long as Cherokee yere thinks I'm right, I don't let nobody's views pester me a little bit, so thar. "'It's what I says awhile back, interrupts Enright. 'Texas Thompson's wife's motives mighty likely ain't invidious none. It's a heap probable if the trooth is known, that she ain't aimin' nothin' speshul at Texas; she only changes her mind.
Think o' the water tank, Jo!" "We have no proof that Drummond or his men were responsible for the empty tank, boys. I'm terribly sorry. I must think over what's best to be done now. We mustn't stoop to such methods. Even though we are subjected to underhand competition, we ourselves must fight fair and not descend to our enemy's level." "You're aimin' to go to heaven, Jo," Gulick accused.
"Lawler," he said, sticking his face close to the other's, his eyes glittering with the malignant triumph that had seized him over the conviction that Lawler would not try to draw his gun; "I'm figgerin' on wallopin' you like you walloped my kid. Understand? I'm aimin' to make you fight with your fists. I'm goin' to knock hell out of you!". Lawler had not moved.
"Are you aimin' to drive twenty head of horses off their own range single handed?" "Sure. You can do it easy if you savvy horses." The Texan refrained from comment. He wanted to know who was supposed to be interested in catching him, and why. Had someone told the truth about the lynching, and was he really wanted for aiding and abetting the pilgrim's escape? "I reckon that's true," he opined.
"I'm mighty sorry," she said soberly, "but I ain't aimin' to wed any man, fixed like I am. Mother and the children have to be looked after, and I can't ask a man to do for 'em, so I have it to do myself." "Of course I can't take your mother and the children," Buckheath objected querulously, as though she had asked him to do so. "But you I'll take; and you'd do well to think it over.
"They give those for entertainin' a politician," he answered. "Any cow hands out of a job around here?" Both of the men chuckled. "You aimin' to hire any riders?" "I could use a couple to wrangle pilgrims in the Esmeraldas. More exactly, there's a lady, aimin' to head into the mountains and she'll need a couple of packers."
"That is, Conny and I," amended Jimmy, with good-natured tolerance of his sister's whims. "You see, Kitty," put in Conny, "this hero coyote traps pin' ain't just fun. It's business. Dad's promised us three dollars for every scalp, an' we're aimin' to make a stake. We didn't git a blamed thing, to-day, though."
And the fourth bird and the biggest one I wuz aimin' to hit from this tower of ourn wuz Washington, D.C. I wanted to visit the Capitol of our country, the center of our great civilization that stands like the sun in the solar system, sendin' out beams of power and wisdom and law and order, and justice and injustice, and money and oratory, and talk and talk, and wind and everything, to the uttermost points of our vast possessions, and from them clear to the ends of the earth.
"You're right it is, Taterleg," Lambert agreed, keeping his eyes straight ahead as they rode on. "You're aimin' to come back in the spring and go pardners with her on the sheep deal, ain't you, Duke?" "I don't expect I'll ever come back, Taterleg." "Well," said Taterleg abstractedly, "I don't know."
