Seth and me went rummagin' through town records from way back to glory, him gassin' away and stringin' along about this old settler and that, till I 'most wished he'd choke himself with the dust he was raisin'. We found John's grandad's will, and Emily's dad's will, and John's own will, and that's all.
"A precious parcel. Why, you held it as a woman holds her first baby." She smiled, and bade us good-night. "I've no call ter stan' aroun' gassin'," she assured us.

He paused, while Nicky-Nan and 'Beida exchanged glances. "Don't you heed him," said 'Beida encouragingly. "He's only gassin' again." But she faced up for a new attack.
Y' see I was tellin' her as I wus runnin' a bit of a hog ranch them times, an', on o-casions, we used to give parties. The pertickler party I wus referrin' to wus a pretty wholesome racket. The boys got good an' drunk, an' they got slingin' the lead frekent 'fore daylight come around. Howsum, it wus the cause o' the trouble as I wus gassin' 'bout.
A giant mountaineer stood on the bank above him, with a Winchester in the hollow of his arm. "How are you?" The giant's heavy eyes lifted quickly, but he spoke to the girl.

He ain't no " "Shet up!"
"See here," he cried, "a fellow mostly bluffs when he's scared, or he's in a corner like a rat. See? Now it's to my interest to see Fyles beat clean out of Rocky Springs. It's that set me gassin'. Get me? So just keep easy, and take what I got to hand out. I'm wise to the game. It's my business to keep wise.

A youngster, who had hitherto taken no part in the talk, suddenly lifted a pair of heavy eyes from the torn pages of a five-cent novel. "Wal!" he cried abruptly. "Wot's the use o' gassin'? Let's light right out. That's how we sed 'fore you come along, Buck."
Them fellers must ha' been pretty clos't around to get that car away so quick. I think them boys was clever. Anyway they wasn't no reward then. They is now five hundred dollars. The Bankers' Association offered it soon as they heard the story." "When are you going to hunt them out?" asked Matt. "Huntin' right now, son. Huntin' while we set gassin' with you. We hunts in our sleep."
"So you're quittin'," he sneered; "scared plum out because you seen a man put out of business! I reckon Leviatt wasn't far wrong when he said " "I wouldn't say a lot," interrupted Ferguson coldly. "I ain't admittin' that I'm any scared. An' I ain't carin' a heap because Leviatt's been gassin' to you. But I'm quittin' the job you give me. Ben Radford ain't the man who's been rustlin' your cattle.
