Billy feels, too, that while this yere's a blow, still it's a great occasion; an' as he takes to feelin' his whiskey an' roominatin' on the tangled state of affairs, it suddenly strikes him he'll jest nacherally close up the trail by the house. "'Women is frail people an' can't abide noises that a-way, says Billy, ` an' 'Doby's shore lookin' some faded himse'f.
Like they was out to add to the excitement a whole lot, I'm a Mohave if 'Doby an' his wife don't turn loose an' have another infant that same day. "'I never sees a gent get so excited over another gent's game as Billy does over 'Doby's number two. He sends his new wife up to 'Doby's on the run, while he takes Willyum an' comes pirootin' back to the Red Light to brace up.
"Doby an' Billy, as time goes by, allers alloods to the infant as 'Willyum, so's not to get him an' Billy mixed; an' durin' the next two years, while Billy still goes shy so far as trackin' over to 'Doby's ranch is concerned, as soon as he walks, Willyum comes down the canyon to see Billy every day.
Still, while it's short, it's long enough for Billy to get his laig ousted with one of 'Doby's bullets, an' it all lays Billy up for Doc Peets to fuss with for over three months. "While Billy's stretched out, an' Doe Peets is ridin' herd on his laig, 'Doby keeps as savage as an Apache an' don't come near Billy.
"'It ain't that I'm timorous neither, nor yet assoomin' airs, this yere Billy says to me when he brings it up himse'f how he don't go over to 'Doby's, 'but I'm never no hand to set 'round an' visit free an' easy that a-way with the posterity of a gent which I has had cause to plant.
A really charming girl was an enormous acquisition to the neighbourhood. Westholt, his father saw, had found even more than the story of old Doby's pipe had prepared him to expect. Country calls were not usually interesting or stimulating, and this one was. Lord Dunholm laid subtly brilliant plans to lead Miss Vanderpoel to talk of her native land and her views of it.
"But thar comes a time when the feud is over, an' 'Doby an' Billy turns in better friends than before. For a month mebby thar's a Mexican girl which she's a cousin that a-way or some kin to 'Doby's wife who's been stayin' at 'Doby's house, sorter backin' their play.
It looks like they fills a hand ag'in you, son, an' you ain't in it no more at 'Doby's; who, whatever is your fool claims on that p'int a year ago, is still your dad ondoubted. But you-all knows me, Willyum. You knows that talk in Holy Writ. If your father an' mother shakes you, your Uncle Billy takes you up. I'm powerful 'fraid, Willyum, you'll have to have action on them promises."
"What's the matter with seeing him now?" Mr. Crewe demanded. "I know Manning. He's the division superintendent, isn't he?" Mr. Botcher and Mr. Bascom exchanged glances. "Why, yes " said Mr. Bascom, "yes, he is. He's a great friend of General Doby's, and their wives are great friends." "Intimate friends, sir," said the Honourable Jake "Well," said Mr. Crewe, "we won't bother 'em but a moment."
This yere ain't roodness; it's scrooples, says Billy, 'an' so it's plumb useless for me to go gettin' sociable with 'Doby's wife. "It's crowdin' close on two years after the infant's born when 'Doby an' Billy gets up their feud which I speaks of at the beginnin'. Yere's how it gets fulminated.
