"Yet you would have sold this valley to that creature Okada." "Farrel has convinced me of my error there. I have been anti-Jap since the day Farrel was thrown from his horse and almost killed by a Jap." "I'm sure Kay is in love with him, John." "Propinquity," he grunted. "Fiddlesticks! The man is perfectly charming." "Perhaps. We'll decide that point later.
"Fiddlesticks! They all say that; now you just not mind their talk, but take all you need, and it will get carried along, somehow." Still another company left our ranks, and remained at Camp Verde.
