"Hello," he said, on guard against the two of them, wondering what had brought his dad to this particular point at this particular time. "Hello. How d'yuh do, Miss Douglas? Lance, dinner's getting cold waiting for you." Tom lifted his hat to Mary Hope, turned, and rode back whence he had come, never glancing over his shoulder but nevertheless keenly alert for the sound of voices.
She ain't comin' t' no harm just now, or it wouldn't be so blamed peaceful around there. It's only a matter of a couple uh hours t' daylight, anyhow. What d'yuh think?" "Under the circumstances, the only thing we can do is to wait," MacRae assented, and I fancied that there was a reluctant quiver in his usually steady voice.
Bud stooped and yanked off the mask and looked into the glaring eyes of one whom he had never before seen. "Well, how d'yuh like it, far as you've got?" Bud asked curiously. "Think you were holding up a pilgrim, or what?" Just then, BING-GG sang a rifle bullet from the ridge above the cave.
He gulped down a cup of coffee scalding hot, ate a few mouthfuls of bacon and bread, and brought a cup back to Cash. "What d'yuh think about him?" he whispered, setting the coffee down on a box so that he could take Lovin Child. "Pretty sick kid, don't yuh think?" "It's the same cold I got," Cash breathed huskily.

"D'yuh think me and Frank could fight the Sawtooth and get anything out of it but a coffin apiece, maybe?" he demanded harshly. "Don't the Sawtooth own this country? Warfield's got the sheriff in his pocket, and the cor'ner, and the judge, and the stock inspector he's Senator Warfield, and what he wants he gets. He gets through the law that you was talking about a little while ago.
"Uh course we'll get through we've got to; what d'yuh suppose we've been tearing the bone out for the last three weeks for?" Chip, with a foot braced against the calf's shoulder, ran a U on its ribs with artistic precision.

"Say, I don't believe you're so plumb crazy about leaving us, after all, now that the cards are all dole out.
Didn't he crawfish like a cowardly coyote when Ken called his bluff in thu Alcazar, an' then came sneakin' around yeah in thu night an' buhn yuh haystacks? Why, what moah d'yuh want him to do?" The indignation in her voice was genuine. "But why I cannot understand " began the girl confusedly, "why is it necessary for Mr. Douglass to personally undertake the punishment of this wretch?
Wrenn eyed this, and said nothing. The manager: "Hear what I said? D'yuh think I'm talking to give my throat exercise?" Mr. Wrenn was stubborn. "I couldn't help it." "Couldn't help ! And you call that an explanation!
