an' I'm no' worthy, I ken, but I pit up a bit prayer wi' him ye mauna think I'm boastin', sir, but I brocht him to Christ, an' when I think on't noo, it's lichtsome, an' I'm minded o' that simmer sun on the Gowden Gate. Ye'll write to him an' tell him we'll sing a psalm thegither yet." My promise given and Andrew Mathieson's address taken, Archie lay silent for a little time.
"Which the day is set an' the Lance shows in the door, as monte sharps would say. Black Cloud an' the Lance tharupon expands themse'fs, an' delights the assembled Creeks an' Osages with their whole box of tricks, an' each side is braggin' an' boastin' an' puttin' it up that their gent is most likely the soonest medicine man who ever buys black paint. It's about hoss an' hoss between the two.
"Now look here," he said very quietly, as the poor wretch would have grovelled at the Parson's feet, "you was boastin' to Bill, not an hour agone, as you could stuff anything." "Don't hurt him," Parson Spettigew interposed, touching Mr. Jope's arm. "I'm not hurtin' him, your Reverence, only Eh? What's that?" All turned their faces towards the store.
I don't say it in any spirit of boastin', 'cause I've pulled trigger about every day for thirty years, an' more'n once a hundred times in one day.

If there's an alarm I'll open fire with the three rifles and cover the escape."
You know I'm not given to boastin', but there are times when it is advisable to have plain speakin'. There is a small supply of spirits aboard, and I just want to tell 'ee merely as a piece of useful information, and to prevent any chance o' future trouble that as I've got charge o' them spirits I mean to keep charge of 'em."

Creed hesitated in the doorway. "Oh dear," he said, "there's a-one thing that the woman was a-saying that I've forgot to tell you. It's a-concernin' of what this 'ere man was boastin' in his rage.
Then we all gathered in the front chamber agin watchin' events to come, Jabez boastin' louder than ever how like a charm it would work, and Karen opholdin' him. But Josiah looked anxious as I could see.
Livin'stone say if he could see us now? Where'd he think our boastin' was about our bein' able ter enj'y ourselves? Come!" And once more he rose to his feet. This time he was not held back. The little woman at his side adjusted her bonnet, tilted up her chin, and in her turn rose to her feet. "Sure enough!" she quavered bravely. "Come, Hezekiah, we'll ask the way ter Bunker Hill."
Nothing gives you a right idea of a country and its people like that. There is always some interest in natur, where truly depicted. I think so too; for every man has a story of his own, adventures of his own, and some things have happened to him that never happened to anybody else.
