Everythin's the matter. I just happened to think that now Bull won't be able to tell me what he was going to to-night." "That'so. Can't you ask the girl?" "I can, but I ain't shore it'll do any good. Marie ain't the kind that blats all she knows just to hear herself talk. If she wants to tell me she will. If she don't want to, she won't. Bull was my one best bet."
She said she guessed she'd go back out West 'cause she didn't want to stay here any more. She was afraid of ghosts." "Ghosts!" Tony nodded. "I'm to leave the key of the house at Mr. Benton's in the mornin' an' tell him everythin's cleaned up an' in order. An' Miss Lucy said I was to stay here an' go on with the work till you or somebody else told me to stop." Without comment Martin listened.
Now jest lay still a little. You're all right; everythin's all right." "Where is he?" "Who?" "Lassiter!" "You needn't worry none about him." "Where is he? Tell me instantly." "Wal, he's in the other room patchin' up a few triflin' bullet holes." "Ah!... Bishop' Dyer?" "When I seen him last a matter of half an hour ago, he was on his knees. He was some busy, but he wasn't prayin'!"

She was so used to being obeyed that his response was as a matter of course to her.
Richie, studiously dissembling his joy at sight of his old friend, and carefully steering Mr. Dawson against the bar. "Here, I know what you need. Drink hearty, Racey." "'S'on me," declared Mr. Dawson. "Everythin's on me. I gug-got money, I have, and I aim to spend it free an' plenty, 'cause there's more where I'm goin'. An' I ain't gonna earn it punchin' cows, neither."
"All right," he said; "but let the other boats get fast first, 'n doan be in too much of a hurry to tie yerself up till ya see what's doin'. If everythin's goin' bizness-fashion', 'n yew git a chance, sail right in; yew got ter begin some time. But ef thet Kanaka looks skeered goin' on, take the iron frum him ter onct." I promised, and the interview ended.
