He speaks to the help as if they was dirt under his feet, an' he'd as lief lie as look at you, an' always up to some new devilment. It'd take your time to think fast enough to keep up with'm. But he ain't all bad I don't believe no child is, not on your life, an' my idea is, he'd turn out O.K. if only he'd the right sort o' handlin'. Mr.
I ain't much of a hand at babies, 'cause I hain't seen many uv 'em, 'nd when it comes to handlin' 'em why, that would break me all up, 'nd like 's not 't would break the baby all up too. But it has allus been my notion that nex' to the wimmin folks babies wuz jest about the nicest things on earth.
It'll save you all the trouble of handlin'. We'll carry the stock, and you pay once a month for what's delivered." Crane called in Keith, and they discussed the proposition. It presented distinct advantages; might, indeed, save them money in addition to trouble.
O' course, havin' formed my habits in the financial centers of the country, I named a stiff price at first a stiff price, I won't deny. But that's jest the leetle way of a man used to handlin' large affairs nothin' else to it, I do assure you. The Old Man himself used to say, 'There's old H. H. you'd think he'd eat the paint off a house, he'll show up that graspin' in a deal.
An' Deming's the one who'll stir up the trouble, take it from me. Tell Hansen to turn in his watch-off, I shan't take a deck for a day or two, you'll have to go on handlin' it between you. I've got to make my peace with the gal, an' do what I can with the skipper." "She'll not make peace easily. But the skipper's in a bad way." Lund lit his pipe. "I'd jest as soon it was war.

They wasn't minded to let him go, even on Hendricks's say-so, but I went into the stall an' told 'em to ease off. "He's whipped one man in a fair fight," sez I, "an' if another man don't whip him in a fair fight the' won't be any handlin' of him from this on. Ease off these ropes."

She knows what's said of her all around the valley. But she doesn't care.
When he was handlin' stock from south of the line, in small bunches, and pushin' it through fast, we was all right. The Mexican punchers was doin' the stealin', sellin' the stuff to Brent. And Brent was sellin' to Arguilla's agent which is Ortez. All Ortez did was pay for it and turn it over to Arguilla.
I've stayed with them ever since, of course, for there was no one to take me back. Mr. Papineau hadn't returned. He was trapping."

"While you are foolin' with that thing, which ain't for rivers, and which you don't know beans about handlin', Dannie will haul in the Bass, and serve you right, too!"
