Seabeck gave her a quick, sidewise glance and pulled thoughtfully at the graying whiskers that pointed his chin. "I would have been glad to lend you money, or help you in any way." "Yes, I know." Billy Louise snapped her reins impatiently. "But what would you do about the cattle?" "What could I do? What would you want me to do? I should do whatever would help you. I would "
The Old Man, bent head-foremost over his growing paunch that he might caress his outraged bunion, glared at them with belligerent curiosity from under his graying eyebrows. The group came on and stopped short at the steps and I don't suppose the Happy Family will ever look such sneaks again whatever crime they may commit.
