Westfall found Christopher at once in the green shawl of Anna Maria Dow, but all was not achieved thus in the twinkling of an eye. Mr. McLean had, it appeared, as James Westfall lugubriously pointed out, not merely "swapped the duds; he had shuffled the whole doggone deck;" and they cursed this Satanic invention.
Doggone if I'm going to live in a joint like this with ghosts and burglars all over the place." Just then an alarming yell ascended from the regions below, followed by a crash and a series of the most picturesque, sulphur-lined oaths that mortal man ever gave vent to. It was Bunch. His trademark was on every word. I could recognize his brimstone vocabulary with my eyes shut.
He rode home to tell my folks I'm not so bad hurt, an' then he's goin' to ride a bee-line into the mountains." Helen's eyes asked what her lips refused to utter. "He's goin' after Dale. I sent him. I reckoned we-all sorta needed sight of thet doggone hunter." Roy had averted his gaze quickly to Bo. "Don't you agree with me, lass?" "I sure do," replied Bo, heartily.
I shall be alone and hope to see you. His reflections were numerous: "Doggone it, why can't she let me alone? Why can't women ever learn a fellow hates to be bulldozed? And they always take advantage of you by yelling how lonely they are. "Now that isn't nice of you, young fella. She's a fine, square, straight girl, and she does get lonely. She writes a swell hand. Nice-looking stationery. Plain.
A little grimly he perceived that this had been his last despairing fling before the paralyzed contentment of middle-age. Well, and he grinned impishly, "it was one doggone good party while it lasted!" And how much was the operation going to cost? "I ought to have fought that out with Dilling. But no, damn it, I don't care how much it costs!" The motor ambulance was at the door.
"Well, Mac, old sporty boy, I guess there ain't much to do except to make up our minds to die like gentlemen. If I was ever fooled by a man in my life, I was fooled by that doggone mate. I thought he'd tote square with the syndicate. I sure did." For a long time McGuffey gazed seaward.
"There's no tellin' where we'll fetch up," said he. "Those mules can't see the trail if a man can't. Take their harness off and turn 'em loose, an' I suppose they can find their way to the post, but sure as you turn them loose when they've got somethin' on 'em, or behind 'em, and the doggone cussedness of the creatures will prompt them to smash things."
The mourners laid him on his pall, his three assorted names and all, and said: "Doggone him! Now he'll stop this thing of writing helpful slop." He got the finest grave in town, and marble things to hold him down. Long years have passed since R. R. Rox was placed in silver-mounted box; and does he rest in peace? Instead, he's working harder now he's dead.
I used to think he wouldn't amount to nothin'. It shows that the best of us git fooled in a feller once in a while. To-morrow night I'll go out to the spellin'-match, an' when the chanct comes I'll sidle up to her an' whisper her real name in her ear. I bet four dollars an' a half that'll fetch her purty prompt. Doggone, these here sheets air cold! It's forty below zero right here in this bed."
"It seems too doggone bad for that confounded planet to have eight moons an' no one to enjoy 'em while my little girl jest dotes on 'em an' we only have one an' IT don't work more'n half the time." That was Cast Steel: he didn't look on life or death, or wealth or poverty, or anything else except in the way it applied to Barbie but she was worth it, she was worth it, an' I never blamed him none.
