A sudden idea darted through my mind while she was speaking. Here was the moment for posting my letter!
I don't know how long ago weeks a stranger rode into Ord an' got down easy-like as if he owned the place. He seemed familiar to me. But I wasn't sure. We looked him over, an' I left, tryin' to place him in my mind." "What'd he look like?" "Rangy, powerful man, white hair over his temples, still, hard face, eyes like knives.
Mebbe that'll help some. Now, Ed, stand up and don't sling your club as if you was ropin' a steer. Come round easy-like an' hit straight." Ed made several attempts which, although better than those of his predecessors, were rather discouraging to the exacting coach.
"Parson," he said, "Ah've Ned Blossom's repitation to consider. Ah'll take 'em along easy-like, leastways if you're not in a hurry. Then you gives me the word when us be nobbut half mile from tha pull-up, an' I'll let 'em out champion." "You don't know Ecclesthorpe, then?" said Dixon Mallaby. "I dunno this ro'd," replied Dick.
"I've held that idee," continued Pichot, after a civil pause, "though I hain't never yet found a man, nor a woman nuther, as was willin' to give it a fair trial.
