"Indeed, sister, I agree with him. You won't obey me." "Reckon some one's got to be your boss," drawled Carmichael. "Shore I ain't hankerin' for the job. You could ride to Kingdom Come or off among the Apaches or over here a ways" at this he grinned knowingly "or anywheres, for all I cared. But I'm workin' for Miss Nell, an' she's boss. An' if she says you're not to take them rides you won't.
He'll shore do it, unless I camps on th' line, which same I hain't hankerin' after." "Oh, he wouldn't stop th' cows that way, Skinny; he was only afoolin'," exclaimed Connors meekly.
