I've got a color scheme that will make these natives bug their eyes out! And Surry's got to be considerably whiter than snow " "Huh!" Dade was watching him closely while he listened.

And at the instant he had read the words he had known that he didn't hate her. But he was a fool, just the same; he was a fool for treating her as he did as Dade had said. He had known that all along; he knew that was the reason why he had curbed his rage when it would have driven him to commit some rash action. He had been a fool, but had he let himself go he would have been a bigger one.
An accident it must appear to those who watch, because the duelo will be proclaimed a sport; but to the death I will fight, and I trust that the Señor Allen will fight as I fight. Does the señor understand?" "Yes, but I can't promise anything for Jack." Dade studied José quietly through the smoke of his cigarette.
"Good thing those hombres are afoot. We'll get on a little farther and then we'll fix a hackamore so you can do your own riding," "I can't stand it to ride any farther " "Are you shot?" Dade pulled in a little and looked anxiously into his face. "It's the rope. They tied it so tight it's torture.
Taggart's coming was attended with interest by Malcolm, who, hearing hoofbeats in the ranchhouse yard came to the door of the bunkhouse where he had been doing some small task; by Bob, who hobbled out of the stable door, his eyes wide; and by Betty, who, forewarned of the visit by Dade, had come out upon the porch and had been watching his approach.

She told Dade Walker that I got all the biggest flat-irons, when she knows I offered her the bureau. I did everything I could to make her feel satisfied." "I know you did, and now you must just keep cool till I see Emmy myself." When Mrs. Gray started out on her mission of pacification, she found it to be entirely out of her control. The Coolly was actively partisan.
"If you, Earl Warrenne, ever found Dade drunk or lying, it is more than the King here has done." "Let him speak, Earl," said William. "I have not an honester man in my camp; and he speaks for my information, not for yours." "Then for yours will I speak, Sir King. These men treated me knightly, and sent me away without ransom."

I'm so agitated, I must go to my room." When the lady had disappeared, Miss Burton turned to the sobbing nurse and said: "Will you promise me to be careful in the future if I intercede for you?" "Dade, Miss, an' I will." "Come to me, then, after supper.
Dade had been a schoolmate of John Tyler so intimate they were that at college they were called "the two Jacks" and when the death of Harrison made Tyler President, the "off Jack," as he dubbed himself, went up to the White House and said: "Jack Tyler, you've had luck and I haven't. You must do something for me and do it quick. I'm hard up and I want an office."
