"You see, I was having a wash, as it might happen, at the edge of a slough a slough is a little pond in the prairie, Miss, as you're a stranger and my clothes and my gun was lying beside me, and my horse was croppin' the grass at the top of the rise.
"Yet he takes a house an' settles here? That's queer, as you might say." "I see nothing queer about it. He's my friend that's why. And what's more, the Lord never put bowels into a better man." "He'll be a pleasure to shave, then," opined Mr Toy. "No, he won't; he wears his hair all over his face. Talkin' of that reminds me when you've done croppin' me I want a clean shave."
Where'd he come from, Belllounds?" "Wal, if I don't disremember he was born in a prairie-schooner, comin' across the plains. His mother was a full-blood, an' come from Louisiana." "That accounts for an instinct I see croppin' out in Kane," rejoined Wade. "He likes to trail a man. I've caught him doin' it. An' he doesn't take to huntin' lions or bear.

"It's jest the woman croppin' out in 'er," Webb drawled, with unconscious humor. "Looks like marryin' is a woman's aim the same as keepin' out of it ought to be a man's."
The hosses an' mules theirselves are too tired to eat, but they will begin croppin' afore long." "And it's so cold up here I think we'd better light a fire and have warm food," said Boyd. "We can smother the smoke, and anyway it will pay us to run the risk." It was a task soon done, and long before breakfast was finished the horses and mules were peacefully grazing.
