"We'll make a night of it!" cried Len. "Not for mine," laughed Andy. "I'm in training, you know." "Well, we'll keep Dunk then. Come on." They set out together, Andy with many misgivings in his heart. Noisy and stirring was the welcome they received at Burke's. It was the usual story. The night wore on, and Dunk's good resolutions slipped away gradually.
And he made a picture of Dunk, that time Banjo bucked him off you saw that happen, I suppose and it was great! Dunk was standing on his head in front of his horse, but I can't show you it, because it blew out of the window and landed at Dunk's feet in the path, and he picked it up and tore it into little bits. And he doesn't play in Chip's yard any more." "He never did," grinned Weary.
Weary shaded his eyes with his hat-brim, against the slant rays of the westering sun. "That's Oleson, Dunk's partner." "His mother'd be a-weepin'," Big Medicine observed bodefully, "if she knowed what was due to happen to her son right away quick. Must be him that done the shootin'."
"What worries me," Weary confided, obeying the impulse to talk over his troubles with those who sympathized, "is how I'm going to keep the work going along like it ought to, and at the same time keep them Dot sheep outa the house. Dunk's wise, all right. He knows enough about the cow business to know we ye got to get out on the range pretty quick, now.
"If you fellers would back me up," brooded Big Medicine down by the corral after supper, "I'd see to it them sheep never gits across the coulee, by cripes! I'd send 'em so far the other way they'd git plumb turned around and forgit they ever wanted to go south." "It's all Dunk's devilishness," Jack Bates declared.
You can rig up that room off the dining room for your office I s'pose you'll have to have one. You make out a list of what dope you want and be sure yuh get a-plenty. I look for an unhealthy summer among the cow-punchers. If I ain't mistook in the symptoms, Dunk's got palpitation uh the heart right now an' got it serious." The Old Man chuckled to himself and went back to his welding.
"Are you going to swallow that from a hired man?" Weary inquired, after a minute during which nothing whatever occurred beyond the slow reddening of Dunk's face. "I'm not going to fight, if that's what you mean," Dunk sneered. "I decline to bring myself down to your level.
And there were rambles in the lanes, going after wild strawberries, and even the venturesome ones went on the sly to Dunk's Ferry and had their fortune told by Old Alice. There were many little shrieks and giggles, and joyous or protesting confidences afterward. And now Primrose thought, as she had years before, that she was quite torn in two.
Big Medicine's hand gripped Dunk's arm on the instant. With his other he plucked the gun from Dunk's pocket, and released him as he would let go of something foul which he had been compelled to touch.
"And now for the girls!" exclaimed Andy. "Do I know them?" "No, but you soon will." Andy was much pleased with the two young ladies to whom Dunk introduced him later. It appeared that one was a distant relative of Dunk's mother, and the two were visiting friends in New Haven.
