"I will while I'm here," she said; "but we's be shiftin' afore aught's along we're allus shiftin'. We have to be terrible careful not to get cotched for sleeping out.

You desarves him, if anybody.
Don't ye mind that we're very much in the same fix that we was when cotched in the cave, barring that we're worse off here than we were there? If some one should let a lasso down from the top, we might climb up just as we did there; but that's one of the things that ain't likely to happen."

"Not much. 'You've got the Pontiac, Nott, sez he. 'You bet! sez I. 'What'll you take for her and the lot she stands on? sez he, short and sharp. Some fellers, Rosey," said Nott, with a cunning smile, "would hev blurted out a big figger and been cotched. That ain't my style. I just looked at him.
