It was the voice of Discipline calling to his better judgment, as Bug's innocent pleading spoke to the finer man within him. Under his grip Gresh lay motionless, all power of resistance threshed out of him. "Are you ready to quit?" Vic questioned, hoarsely, bending over the almost lifeless form. The outlaw mumbled assent.
I reckon thet if these yere two bug's wus ter swear thet I killed him as most likely they will them boys wud string me up furst, an' find out fer sure afterwards. Thar ain't so damn much law up yere, an' thet's 'bout whut wud happen. So the sooner I leave these yere parts, the more likely I am ter live a while yet." "Then let's start," decisively.
"There was too much to think about, and, also, there were the guards sticking spears into us, and Big-Fat talking about God, and the Bug singing new songs. And when any man did think right, and said so, Tiger- Face and the guards got him, and he was tied out to the rocks at low tide so that the rising waters drowned him. "It was a strange thing the money. It was like the Bug's songs.
I can't escape if I'd want to. You know that." There was no mistaking the sincerity of Bug's proposal, and coming, as it did, at a time when Hocker and Jeffries were unable to decide on any feasible plan of action, they were disposed to give a favorable answer. "It ain't a bad idea," said Jeffries. "But how do you expect to get in without being seen?" "I'll find a way," returned Bug.
"I suppose you were weeks on the road," Mrs. Ladybug went on. "Are you going back to Colorado after you've finished helping Farmer Green with the potato crop?" "Colorado!" he blurted. "I don't know where that place is. I've never been there in all my life." MR. P. BUG'S statement amazed Mrs. Ladybug. He said he had never been in Colorado.
For reasons of his own, he had mentioned this matter to nobody. But the cold, wet days, little Bug's illness, and the hard study to keep up his class standing, took all of his time. Especially, the study, that he might not be shut out of the great football game of the year on Thanksgiving day. Sunrise was stiff in its scholastic requirements, and conscientious to the last degree.
It should have been called "The Shagbark" or "The Doodle Bug's Lair."
More than that, he declared he didn't even know where the place was. Now, Peppery Polly Bumblebee had told Mrs. Ladybug that Mr. P. Bug was no stranger in Pleasant Valley. But Mrs. Ladybug had not believed what she said. Even hearing Mr. Bug's own words, Mrs. Ladybug couldn't help doubting them. "Can it be true " she asked him "can it be true that you've never been off this farm?" Mr.
"The only fashionable people here was the Squire's sarvants; and they did look genteel, and no mistake. Elegant men, and most splendid lookin' women they was too. I thought it was some noble, or aid's, or big bug's family; but Mrs. Hodgins says they are the people of the Squire's about here, the butlers and ladies' maids; and superfine uppercrust lookin' folks they be too.
He was satisfied that Hocker would help him if he could be made to see the matter in its proper light, so he drew him aside and told all he knew about Bug in a simple, earnest way dwelling especially on the fact that Bug's desire to keep the boys out of a scrape was the sole cause of his own misfortune. The appeal carried conviction with it, and Hocker's sympathies were aroused.
