"Thank you, Simon," returned Kiddie. "But you've done enough in helping me to rescue young Rube here. We'll stay the night in your camp and then get back to our canoe and home to Sweetwater Bridge." "What's your all-fired hurry?" questioned Simon. "You'll stay as long as ever you like. It can't be as long as I should like. Stay a while for my sake. Just consider.
Nothing in the world could ever induce him to cross a bridge. He had fallen through one when he was a colt, and got so all-fired frightened he never forgot it afterwards. He would stop, rear, run back, plunge, and finally kick if you punished him too hard, and smash your waggon to pieces, but cross he never would.
"It may be pizon and it mayn't I ain't tried it on nothin' yet, but he was so all-fired perticler in hidin' it I thought I'd bring it along." "Where did you find it?" "Under that hell-hound's mattress. He's got more of it in a blue box. Thar warn't nobody seen me. Damn him!" he muttered "it was him that told the sheriff last month down to Leetle Moose that he seen me cross his trail.
"Why, Spider!" he exclaimed, "what the " "Sufferin' Mike!" sighed the Spider plaintively, "here I've been knockin' at your all-fired winder knockin' an' knockin', an' here you've been snorin' and snorin'." "No, did I snore, Spider?" "Bo, you sure are a bird for snorin'." "Damn it!" said Ravenslee, frowning, "I must break myself of it." "Thinkin' of gettin' married, bo?" "Married? What the "
"I dunno how ye kin purtend ter be so all-fired sure o' Sycamore Gap," he said suddenly. "'T ain't five minutes sence ye war 'lowin' ez pore folks couldn't git 'lected ter office, an' ye wished ye hed hed nothin' ter do with sech, an' 't war me ez bed jes' pushed an' boosted ye inter it." The resources of subterfuge are well-nigh limitless. Walter Hoxon was an adept in utilizing them.

Oh! you thinkin' o' my secon' wife. Yes, seh, she was too all-fired estravagant! I don't disadmire estravagant people. I'm dreadful estravagant myseff.
