"Crack!" said Little Sure Shot, and the coin seemed to be struck from the unscathed hand. "Only nicked the aidge of it," said he, genially deprecating. "I don't like to take no chancet with the lad's mitt." It had indeed been a pretty display of sharpshooting and noiseless. "Had me nervous, you bet, first time he tried that," called Boogles. "Didn't know his work then. Thought sure he'd wing me."
Looey says they is a lot of chancet fur improvements in the undertaking game by one whose heart is in his work, and he is going into that business to make a success of it, and try and get all the funeral trade fur miles around. He reads us an advertisement of the new firm he has been figgering out fur that town's weekly paper.
When when's she comin' to tell me goo'-by?" "Why why look-a-here. Brace up, ole man. She had to leave a'ready." "She's gone?" "Say, you don' think bookin' like that can wait, do you? It was take it or leave it quick. You didn't wan' her to throw away a chancet like that, huh, Freddy? Huh?" Freddy's head sank on his chest. His hands fell limp. "A' right," he murmured without looking up.
But not till three days ago I didn't never git no chancet to go to one. "That gentleman yonder Mister Sublette he 'lowed jest now that I was leadin' a lot of little boys in this here town into bad habits. He said that I was learnin' 'em nobody knowed whut devilment.

They only got one chancet in three uh guessin' right, 'cause we might be camped in one spot, 'n' then agin we might be crawlin' up closer, fer all they kin tell."

Finally I says: "These ain't my other clothes it must be in them." "Danny," she says, "I believe you LOST it." "Martha," I says, taking a chancet, "you know you lost YOUR half!" She owns up she has lost it a long while ago. And when she lost it, she says, she knowed that was fate and that our love was omened in under an evil star. And who was she, she says, to struggle agin fate?
"He was where we could a' buried him nach'erl, in the sands. I told Will then that Woodhull'd murder him the fust chancet he got. Well, he did er ef he didn't hit wasn't no credit ter either one o' them two." "What differ does hit make, Bill?" remarked Bridger indifferently. "Let bygones be bygones, huh? That's the pleasantest way, sence he's dead.
I'd say that if you ever do want to get married, Sim and you got to if she stays here why, here's the one and only chancet of your whole life. Of course, if the girl wasn't blind, she wouldn't never marry you. I don't believe any woman would, real. The way she is, and can't see, maybe she will, after a while, like, when she's gentled down, as you say. It looks like a act of Providence to me."
