Asked Hopalong, beginning to feel at home. "Oh, jest filterin' round like. I'm awful glad to see yu this yere wart of a town needs siftin' out. It was only last week I was wishin' one of yore bunch 'ud show up that ornament yu jest buffaloed shore raised th' devil in here, an' I wished I had somebody to prospect his anatomy for a lead mine. But he's got a tough gang circulating with him.
"Almost an unblemished career," says Mr. Robert. "What about your successor, Vincent?" "Oh, he's doing fairly well," says I. "Gets stung now and then. Like last week when that flossy blonde with the Southern accent had him buffaloed with a tale about having met dear Mr. Ellins at French Lick and wantin' to show him something she knew he'd be just crazy about. She did, too.
Jim looked at Bill meditatively. "Bill, I'm going to call his bluff!" "Us fellows in my posse'll shoot his place up if you say the word," cried Bill eagerly. "No, that won't do," replied Jim. "But I have an idea that he's a four-flusher. Keep your eye on 'Mexico City, Bill. I am afraid of trouble, though I've got Garces buffaloed so far."
Texas Bill chuckled, pleased at this verification of his story, and went on: "Then you know what I 'm tellin' you is sure true! I thought mebbe you-all mightn't believe it, a-tall, for it sure don't look reasonable that folks could get so buffaloed over a durn fool tenderfoot's yarn.

She puts her hand on my arm then and looks into my eyes. She had me buffaloed right there. I couldn't get her hand off'n my arm. I couldn't help patting it when it laid there. "Aw, shucks!" says I to her. "Come now!" Right then our William he come in at the door, and stood there and coughed like he done when he had anything on his mind. "Ahum!" says he, sad like.
It had only been the day before that he had taken Joe on, but already he had seemed to have aged in appearance.

He knew New Mexico when Los Portales was a whistlin' post in the desert. He's fought through this war an' come through richer than when he started. If I was lookin' for an easy mark I'd sure pass up Webb." "He's got you lads buffaloed," jeered Roush. "Webb looks like anybody else to me. I don't care if he's worth a million. If he fools with me he'll find I fog him quick."
When we're at home in the Bad Lands, we feed on rattlesnakes!" "Say," Tommy whispered to George, "that ain't so bad, is it? Those fellows know they've got the detectives buffaloed, and they're piling it on. I'll bet if we sat a little nearer, we could hear the detectives' teeth rattle!" "The robbers certainly have a sense of humor," grinned George.
"We might miss him in the dark. But the moon will be up in an hour, and then we can go at full speed. We better wait." "Poor little sorry father! I wish we had gone home sooner." "He certainly's got more spunk in him than I gave him credit for! He had old Brigham and the rest of them plumb buffaloed for a minute. Oh, he did crack the old bull-whip over them good!" "Poor little father!
"It will have to be largely a case of bluff," he confided, "and we must make it stick. We have no time for lawing, and if we did, the shysters would get it all. Bart isn't easily buffaloed and will put up a stiff fight. Of course we've got the age on him those hides are a strong card but we're not going to have a walk-over.
