When they sell a claim, they sell a claim. They ain't no air-dealers." "Ay tank Ay buy," Ans Handerson announced, tottering back to the two men.
The partners winked at each other, and a few minutes later a surprised and grateful Swede was drinking bad whisky with two hard- hearted strangers. But he was as hard-headed as they were hard- hearted. The sack made frequent journeys to the scales, followed solicitously each time by Kink Mitchell's eyes, and still Ans Handerson did not loosen up.
