"Nuthin' much." "Jim, you're a liar," replied the old rancher. "Aw!" exclaimed Jim, crestfallen. "What're you hidin'?... You've got somethin' there. Gimme thet gun." Without more ado Jim handed the gun over. "It's mine, boss," put in Bludsoe. "Ahuh? Wal, what was Jim hidin' it fer?" demanded Belllounds. "Why, I jest tossed it to him when I sort of j'ined in with the argyment.
And as for 'armless as doves and no match for sarpints, ye may be all that and more, which is no sort of argyment and when I sez 'what mischief are ye all up to' I sez it, and expecks a harnser, and a harnser I'll 'ave, or I'll reckon to know the reason why!"

Then they herded closely and gave one yell of triumph. But one of them Buck-Kneed Summers it was hit the key with the thoughtful remark: "She cut the mustard," he said, "all right. I reckon they're goin' to buy Lon's steer. I ain't right much on the parlyment'ry, but I gather that's what the signs added up.

Your great-grandfather married your great-grandmother, and that set the ball rollin' to go no farther back than the head will carry. Six sons an' daughters they had, for the sake of argyment, and each married and had six again.
"Some women try to make out that they ain't got an eye for the shape as long as the sense is all square and solid but I ain't never been one of 'em. Sense is all right in its place, no doubt, but thar're times when a fine figger is mo' convincin' than any argyment that ever was uttered."

"'I'd trust you with untold gold, I ses, 'but not with a real quid; you're too fond of a joke, 'Arry. "We 'ad another long argyment about it, and I had to tell 'im plain at last that when I wanted to smell 'is fist, I'd say so. "'You turn up at the wharf at five minutes to seven, I ses, 'and I'll give you ten bob of it; arter you've done your business I'll give you the other.
"Now you've had all you can stan' to-night, poor little soul, without gettin' a fit o' sickness; an' Mirandy'll be sore an' cross an' in no condition for argyment; so my plan is jest this: to drive you over to the brick house in my top buggy; to have you set back in the corner, an' I git out an' go to the side door; an' when I git your aunt Mirandy 'n' aunt Jane out int' the shed to plan for a load o' wood I'm goin' to have hauled there this week, you'll slip out o' the buggy and go upstairs to bed.
