Just as soon as Miss Sellimer was well enough to travel, NOTHING couldn't hold her in these parts, and that's why your brother had to leave before seeing you he's setting to Miss Sellimer, and if Lahoma don't git him away from her, I reckon he's a goner!" Bill Atkins spoke vaguely. "It wasn't none of my doings." Wilfred looked steadily at Willock. "What about your whiskers?"
But this was worse than anything I ever knew before. Once I sank down almost to my shoulders and I guess I would have been a goner, only my feet struck something hard and flat and I stood on that until I got rested a little. All the while I looked around to see if I could decide where the land might be a little harder, but I guess I must have been in the worst part of it.
"Money can do anything," he stated, gloomily, "and these big guys amuse themselves by hunting beautiful women. It's a game with them. When one of 'em takes a fancy to a girl she's a goner. It may not be Merkle in this case, but you're the handsomest woman in New York, and I'll bet some old spider is weaving his web for you.
Gingerly Fox transferred the rifle to his left hand, then drew a revolver. He placed the rifle against the fork of a young aspen and the barrel of the six-gun against the small of Dingwell's back. "Make just one break and you're a goner," he threatened. With deft fingers he slid the revolver of the cattleman from its holster. Then, having collected Dingwell's rifle, he fell back a few steps.
And look here, we'll want beddin' and lots of things, so hustle." And Ike set off with long strides. "Hustle's the word for her. Got to keep her busy, poor girl!" he said to himself. "Guess he's a goner. You bet that old chap don't weaken for no belly-ache. He's right bad." The only wagon in the place belonged to Carroll. "Want your wagon and outfit, Carroll," said Ike briefly.
Seems like a hospital 'stead of a Home, so many roses round! You don't say she's given you all hers? My, ain't you the limit o' generosity. Miss Sterling! You look lots better. Mis' Crump! Maybe it's the reflection o' the roses! Lovely color, ain't it! He must be a goner, sure! How many times a week d' they come? 'Nother card swooped, I s'pose? It beats me!"
It seemed enough that I loved him and that he loved me and that neither of us had broken anything bones, I mean. It was sad, though, to think the poor little bubble was a goner and that we'd never hear its honest little pant again. "If we had lived up to the comic papers, Morty," I said, "we would have spiflicated a red child, given a merry toot and disappeared in a cloud of dust!"
The parson sprang into the water, and, in spite of the chill and the swift current, he was soon by Jude's side. "Take the young un," gasped Jude, "for I'm a goner." "Put your hand on my shoulder," said the parson. "I can get you both ashore." "Tain't no use," said Jude, feebly; "corpses don't count for much in Californy."
Stuart sprang out and pulled the numbed man to his feet, half dragged and lifted him ashore. "Here, here, wake up!" he shouted in his ear. "Get a move on you, or you're a goner." He began to rub Bivens's ice-clad wrists and hands, and the little man snatched them away angrily. "Stop it!" he snarled. "My hands are not cold now."
I hope they have n't seen me," muttered the terrified lad, as he began retreating toward the trunk, with the intent of descending to the ground. "If they have, I'm a goner, that's certain." The Apaches, although defeated, and driven beyond range of the settlers' rifles, did not withdraw altogether.
