He perceived that discretion was necessary to preserve the rest of his precious skin from future perforation. "I I guess I was a li'l hasty," he mumbled, his eyelids lowered. "Now that's what I call right down handsome for you," drawled Racey. "Gawd knows I ain't a hawg. I'm satisfied. Luke, s'pose you and me walk out to the corral together. I got a secret for yore pearly ear."
"Right yonder, over Little Niggerwool see 'em there?" "Oh, yes," the squire made answer. "Now I see 'em. They ain't doin' nothin', I reckin jest flyin' round same as they always do in clear weather." "Must be somethin' dead over there!" speculated the man in the buggy. "A hawg probably," said the squire promptly almost too promptly. "There's likely to be hawgs usin' in Niggerwool.
"There may be some danger attached ter store keepin' in Polktown; it's likely ter make a man a good deal of a hawg," added Uncle Jason. "But I guess the life insurance rates ain't so high as they be on a feller that's determined ter spend his time t'other side o' that Rio Grande River they tell about."
They stopped for something this side of Searchlight an' so I pulls away from 'em a couple of miles. They never seen where I went to." While he washed for breakfast, Casey began to take stock of certain minor injuries. "That darned Pete Gibson has got tushes in his mouth like a wild hawg; the kind that sticks out," he grumbled, touching certain skinned places on his knuckles.
"'The mere fact, says Peets to this scientist, 'that you mavericks never knows of this mule-hoof hawg, cannot be taken as proof he does not still root an' roam the land. Thar's more than one of you Washin'ton shorthorns who's chiefly famed for what he's failed to know. The mule-hoof hawg is a fact; an' the ignorance of closet naturalists shall not prevail ag'inst him.
"You can't tell nothin' about which-a-way a vein runs in this here hell's half-acre. Bart Blackwell's the whole show on the Lawrenceburg, and he's a hawg.
"I can just tell you this," interrupted the fat lady: "I don’t enjoy occupying premises after hawgs, no matter how fashionable you name ’em. A hawg’s a hawg, with manners according, if it’s named after the President of the United States or the King of England."

Bill won't be home till Monday, an' Olson knows that before then, onless Zekiel is interrupted, he'll be even for that hawg Bill drops.
Why, thu damn leetle cuss actooly kin make fists already, an' he jes' nacherally pre-empts my ole hawg laig every time I goes there. Thu han'le is good to cut his teeths on, Ken says, an' he kin eat it cleah off if he wants. I m thinkin' o leavin my spah gun foh him to nibble on at odd times." "An' Ken?" There is a certain diffidence in the sturdy fellow's voice.
"I done told you," said Swing with dignity. "Poor, poor Swing," murmured Racey as though to the bridle's address. "The Gawd-forsaken young feller. It must be the devil and all to go through life in such shape as he's in. All right in lots of ways, too.
