If I ain't terribly mistuk, she shows as ef she'd be powerful willin' to hev me." "If she be so disposed there can't be much difficulty in the matter. You mean to marry her, I presume?"
Now, I'm holdin' back this buffler steak an' wild turkey, 'cause I want 'em to be jest right, when Sol an' Tom set down afore the fire. See anythin' comin' through the woods, Henry?" "No, Jim, nothing stirs there." "It don't bother me. They'll 'pear in good time. They've a full ten minutes yet, an' thar dinners will be jest right fur 'em. I hate to brag on myself, but I shorely kin cook.
"Cutting up the buffler we killed," replied Joses. "Faraway?" "Oh, no; mile or so. We've done pretty well, my lad, for the first day, only we want such a lot to fill so many mouths." A suitable place was selected for the camp, down in a well-sheltered hollow, where a fire was lit, and some bison-meat placed upon sticks to roast.
"The band," continued Rube, "needn't come to the Peenyun spring no howsomever. They kin cross the war-trail higher up to to'rst the Heely, an' meet us on t'other side o' the mountain, whur thur's a grist o' game, both cattle an' buffler.

He stalked haughtily away, his rifle in the hollow of his arm, and Silent Tom followed meekly. The admiring gaze of Jim Hart followed the shiftless one as long as he was in sight.

"I never ate anything so delicious," replied Bart, who, upon his side, was beginning to feel as if he had had enough. "Ah, there's worse things than roast buffler hump," said Joses; "and now, my lad, if I was you I'd take as big and as long a sleep as I could, for we must be off again before daylight after the herd." "Shall we catch up to them again, Joses?" asked Bart.
The whole Shawnee and Miami nations might be in between, but they'd find a way through." "An' the buffler steak an' the wild turkey are jest right," called Long Jim.
