But the brakeman was watching fur me, and clumb down the ladder and stamped on my fingers. So I dropped off, with one finger considerable mashed, and set down in that lumber yard wondering what next. It was a dark night, and so fur as I could see they wasn't much moving in that town. Only a few places was lit up.
It was my watch, so I had to stay by the works, but Tom and Jim clumb down and drunk a barrel apiece, and fetched me up a lot, and I've tasted a many a good thing in my life, but nothing that ever begun with that water.
What he saw made him slide hastily to the bottom again. "They've clumb down and straddled their ponies," he announced grimly. "An' about a dozen is comin' down this way, keepin' under cover all they kin. I calc'late mebby we better crawl our bosses 'n' do some ridin' ourselves, boys." And he added grimly, "They ain't in good shootin' distance yit, 'n' they dassent show theirselves neither.

I went around and clumb over the back stile by the ash-hopper, and started for the kitchen.

If you'd clumb Tiger with that outfit you could just naturally have begun pickin' out the likely-looking she-angels." I dropped the stirrup and went over to examine the damage. Both of the quarter straps on the off side had given way. I found that they had been cut nearly through with a sharp knife. My eye strayed to Ramon's chestnut horse standing under the shed.
But I sez to 'em, "I can believe every word you say without provin' it." I never could have stood it to clumb so high, but they said you could see way off the Appenines, the Alps, Mont Blanc, the Matterhorn, a wonderful view. The cathedral is full of monuments to kings and queens and saints and high church dignitaries. Its carving, statuary, fret work is beyend description.
They'd say, 'There goes Brick Willock, what never harmed nobody. When they kept me in at school I never clumb out the window, and it was me got all the prize cards at Sunday-school. How comes it, honey, that you ain't forgot to talk like civilized beings?" "Red Feather, him always put me with squaw that know English that been to school on the reservation. Never let me learn talk like the Indians.
I clumb up the shed and crept into my window just before day was breaking. My new clothes was all greased up and clayey, and I was dog-tired. WELL, I got a good going-over in the morning from old Miss Watson on account of my clothes; but the widow she didn't scold, but only cleaned off the grease and clay, and looked so sorry that I thought I would behave awhile if I could.
"W'y, them's easy as fallin' off a chunk! First-un's a man named Fox, and he kilt his wife and chopped her head off, and they was a man named Wright lived in that neighberhood and he was a-goin' home and it was Saturd'y night and he was a-comin' through the big woods and they was a storm and Wright he clumb a tree to git out of the rain, and while he was up there here come along a man with a dead woman and a pickax, and a spade.
