Don't I wish it 'ad bin one o' my two as 'ad tuck your fancy that's all! Between you an' me, I don't believe a blessed thing's goin' to come of all young Smith's danglin' round. An' Polly's still a bit young only just turned sixteen. Not as she's any the worse o' that though; you'll get 'er h'all the easier into your ways.
They's a crowd of cowpunchers gatherin' in Elkhead, an' today or tomorrow they'll be strong enough to take the law into their own hands and organize a little lynchin' bee, savvy?" She shuddered.
