"We can send for any of the dawgs any minute if we feel we can't stick it without 'em," said Beale, smoking his pipe in the front garden. "You mean to stay a long time, then," said Dickie. "I dunno. You see, I was born and bred 'ere. The air tastes good, don't it? An' the water's good. Didn't you notice the tea tasted quite different from what it does anywhere else? That's the soft water, that is.
"Don' yo' shake yo' fist at me, or dem dawgs will sure jump down and tackle yo'," grinned the guide, gripping at the collars of the brutes, which, truly, showed signs of intending to spring below. Jack fell back, his hands dropping to his sides.
"If ever I do get you, sonny," grunted Carson, "there won't be enough of you left for the dawgs to quarrel over. Orders or no orders, I ain't going to do no such fool thing." Hampton reined his horse in closer, staring frowningly at the old cattleman. The purplish color of rage mounted in Carson's tanned cheeks. "You'll do what you're told or go get your time," he announced tersely.
I got a team of dawgs down the bank. You ought to allow to start in ten minutes, an' we ought to make it back in less'n three days because the trail's broke. I'm goin' down to the dawgs now, an' I'll look for you in ten minutes." Tom Daw pulled down his earflaps, drew on his mittens, and passed out. "Damn him!" Linday cried, glaring vindictively at the closed door.
"You don't look very well yourself," she said. "Me? Oh, I'm like one o' these Injun dawgs can't kill me. I've been on the range so long I'm tough as dried beef. It's a fierce old place for a woman or it was before 'the war' since then it's kind o' softened down a hair." "What do you mean by 'the war'?" "Why, you remember the rustler war? We date everything out here from that year.
I let out the links good an' generous, 'most nigh keepin' up with the dawgs, an' along comes Rocky a-treadin' on my heels. I knowed he couldn't last that way, and I just laid down an' did my dangdest. An' there he was, at the end of another hour, a-treadin' steady an' regular on my heels. I was some huffed. 'Mebbe you'd like to come to the front an' show me how to travel, I says. 'Sure, says he.
But don’ try nuffin’ funny, or de dawgs’ll sho’ly bring trubble to yo’. Dem is trained dawgs—train’ fo’ dis business ob mine. Ho, ho, ho!” Mulatto and light vanished, but enraged, baffled, helpless Captain Jack could hear the two dogs moving about ere they settled down on the shelf of flooring overhead.
"It's Sorensen an' Peabody," some one cried, "a-throwin' the whip into the dawgs an' headin' down river!" "Now, what the hell !" Shunk Wilson paused, with dropped jaw, and glared at Lucy. "I reckon you can explain, Mrs Peabody." She tossed her head and compressed her lips, and Shunk Wilson's wrathful and suspicious gaze passed on and rested on Breck.
I hain't got nothin' 'gainst dawgs thet comes on four legs, but I shore bars the two-legged kind." There was a murmur of astonishment from the road. Disregarding it, Spicer South turned his face toward the house. "You boys kin come out," he shouted, "an' leave yore guns inside." The leashes were slipped from the dogs.
"Old Bess, that's the Cunnel's favoright dawg, you-all know, she done have 'leven puppies las' night." "That so?" "Yassah. Cunnel, he's off down on the Sun-flowah." "Um-h-h." "Yassah; got most all his dawgs wid 'im. We goin' to have b'ah meat now for sho'," this with a wide grin. "Reckon so," said the visitor. "When's Cunnel coming back, you reckon?"
