But he deemed it necessary to pull on first one line and then the other, which kept the carriage in a meandering course. "I don't think, Mr. Gussing, that you can be much used to driving," said one of the young ladies, presently. "That's a fact," answered the dude. "Why don't you keep to the right of the road?" "Well, er the fact is, this horse is a very difficult one to drive.
"I hope you don't let your mind run on such things. You are quite too young." "Oh, I don't think much about it. But Percy is a dude. He spends a sight for clothes. He always looks as if he had just come out of a bandbox." "Is he in any business?" "No; he has an independent fortune, so mamma says. He was in Europe last year."

"You you know, Lance," he stammered, "the pistol won't shoot " "Ho, ho!" cried the farmer, who had stopped abruptly when Lance had spoken. "Tryin' to scare me, was you? Now you step lively, or I'll let the dawg go."
"'There don't no dude tell me how to pare a hoof, says I; 'I'll do it my way, or I don't do it; an' I done it, an' him kickin' like a steer all the time" "Who?" asked one of the other men. "Barden." "What was he doin' down here?" "He came down for Doc Patterson.
