"Come into my room," said Anderson. She followed him there, and as he closed the door she answered his questioning look by running into his arms and hiding her face. "Wal, I'll be dog-goned!" the rancher ejaculated, with emotion. He held her and patted her shoulder with his big hand. "Tell me, Lenore." "There's little to tell," she replied, softly.
And he's so dog-goned close, too, if I must say it. Why, if it warn't for Mother Marvin, some o' us 'raound here" and he stopped and lowered his voice "would be out in the cold; some ye wouldn't suspect, too." This apparently studied reticence only incited my curiosity to learn something more of the man for whom I had begun to have a real affection.
An' the conductor that was what the first man was called said he didn't reckon I'd take up much room, an' that the road was so dog-goned tired that one more couldn't make it any tireder, an' the soldier made me sit down on one of the benches, an' the train started." She shut her eyes tightly. "I don't like train travel. I like to go slower " "But it brought you to Richmond "
But we are in another pretty nigh as bad, though there ain't much chance of the red-skins getting at us." "That air so, Harry. We are in a pretty tight hole, you bet. They ain't likely to get our scalps for some time, but there ain't no denying that our chance of carrying them off is dog-goned small." "You bet there ain't, Jerry," Sam Hicks said.
"I ain't breakin' no law; this is yarb bitters," Jabe answered, with a pull at the bottle. "It's to cirkerlate his blood," said Ob Tarbox; "he's too dog-goned lazy to cirkerlate it himself." "I'm takin' it fer what ails me," said Jabe oracularly; "the heart knoweth its own bitterness, 'n' it 's a wise child that knows its own complaints 'thout goin' to a doctor."
"Wal, I'll be dog-goned!" ejaculated Anderson. "What's the matter with him?" "Dad, he is proud," replied Lenore, dreamily. "He's had a hard struggle out there in his desert of wheat. They've always been poor. He imagines there's a vast distance between an heiress of 'Many Waters' and a farmer boy. Then, more than all, I think, the war has fixed a morbid trouble in his mind.
Consequently, post-mortems being in order, Matt went on: "I feel pretty sneaky about sticking you with all those bills on the Tillicum that Morrow & Company defaulted on, just because the law enabled me to do so but you did your best to ruin me; you wouldn't have showed me any pity or consideration." "Not a dog-goned bit!" Cappy declared firmly.
Some day or other I suppose there will be an expedition fitted out to go right through, and to punish these dog-goned red-skins and open the country; but it will be a long time arter that afore it will be safe travelling, for I reckon that soldiers might march and march for years through them mountains without ever catching a sight of a red-skin if they chose to keep out of their way.
"Many horses in valley make tracks as plain as noonday. Gold valley bad place for fight." "That is so," Jerry agreed. "We should not have a show there. Even if we made a log-house, and it would be a dog-goned trouble to carry up the logs, we might be shut up in it, and the red-skins would only have to lie round and shoot us down if we came out. I reckon we had best stay here after all, Harry.
There'll be dog-goned little wheat burned in this valley, you can gamble on thet." "I'm glad. I hate the very thought.... Jake, you know about Mr. Dorn's misfortune?" "No, I ain't heerd about him. But I knowed the Bend was burnin' over, an' of course I reckoned Dorn would lose his wheat.
