Thus I saw the Virginian carefully rewrapping Kenilworth, that he might bring it to its owner unharmed; and I said, "Don't you think you could have played poker with Queen Elizabeth?" "No; I expaict she'd have beat me," he replied. "She was a lady." It was at Billings, on this day, that I made those reflections about equality.
"Reckon Hirum an' Jane expaict a dukedom or a king ter marry ther gal," remarked Mrs. Rogers, scornfully. "Abner not good 'nough! He's wuth the whole kit an' bilin' o' Gilcrests an' Temples; an' ef Betsy lets 'em threaten an' coax or skeer her inteh breakin' her word to him, she hain't the gal I tek her to be. But, pore thing! she must be havin' a hard time.
Mighty inter-estin'. I expaict, though, his cookin' would give an outraiged stomach to a plain-raised man." "If you want to follow it up," said I, by way of a sudden experiment, "Miss Molly Wood might have some book about French dishes." But the Virginian did not turn a hair. "I reckon she wouldn't," he answered. "She was raised in Vermont.
"I didn't say it wasn't, though I expaict Bighorn County will forget to give y'u a unanimous vote of thanks for doing it. I asked if y'u did it because it was your duty?" "The reason doesn't matter so that I do it," she answered, steadily. "Reasons matter some, too, though they ain't as important as actions out in this country.
Scipio's bleached eyes brightened with admiration as he considered the Southerner's back. "Well," he stated judicially, "start awful early when yu' go to fool with him, or he'll make you feel unpunctual." "I expaict I've had them almost all of three thousand miles," said the Virginian, tilting his head toward the noise in the caboose. "And I've strove to deliver them back as I received them.
You cannot tell if in spirit he wandered on Bear Creek with the girl whose book it was. The spirit will go one road, and the thought another, and the body its own way sometimes. "Queen Elizabeth would have played a mighty pow'ful game," was his next remark. "Poker?" said I. "Yes, seh. Do you expaict Europe has got any queen equal to her at present?" I doubted it.
I reckon I hev got a sneakin' likin' fur his ole black hide; but whut could you expaict when he's the only pusson, black or white, I've laid eyes on frum Lawsonville sence I run away to Car'liny nigh thirty year ago? I'll tell you sometime how I happened on Tony; hain't time now, fur I smell the bacon a-fryin', an' I reckon suppah'll be dished up in no time now."
Consequence is, they're loaded down to the ground with admiration of their boss, but they ain't presumptuous enough to expaict any more. I had notions, mebbe, I'd cut more ice, me being not afflicted with bashfulness. My notions faded, ma'am, in about a week." "Then Nora came?" she laughed. "No, ma'am, they had gone glimmering long before she arrived.
Once more the door opened. A man with slim black eyebrows, slim black mustache, and a black shirt tied with a white handkerchief was looking steadily from one to the other of us. "Good day!" he remarked generally and without enthusiasm; and to the Virginian, "Where's Schoffner?" "I expaict he'll have got his bottle by now, Trampas." Trampas looked from one to the other of us again.
"I expaict your Kalamazoo conscience is worryin' y'u because y'u misjudged me." "It isn't," she denied instantly. "I ain't of a revengeful disposition. I'll forgive y'u for doing your duty and saving my life twice," he said, with a smile of whimsical irony. "I don't want your forgiveness." "Well, then for thinking me a 'bad man." "You ought to beg my pardon.
