I tell you there's no man on God's earth here'd be so desolate. I'd rather be dead than lose you. To lose you is the only sorrow I can imagine. I care more for one smile of yours, one touch of your dear fingers, than for anything else in all the world. If you hate me an' want to ruin my life, you'll go. Chris, if you love me, can't you see what the loss of you would mean?
They led him into the deserted Lone Star for further deliberations. "That's the snuff he's been takin'," Curly explained aside. "I know. It's 'hop. Sheep, 'hop, and whiskey! With that for a life and them for a steady diet, I don't believe our friend here'd last more'n about thirty years more."
Here'd be the tooter and the young gen'lmen, and the governess and the young leddies, and then the servants they'd be al'ays the grandest folk of all and then the duik and the doochess Lord love 'ee, zur; the money did fly in them days!
He spat, reflectively, and drew the back of a hand across tobacco-stained lips. "And you say you live in Colorado." "I didn't say " "Well, it don't make no difference whether you did or not. I know you don't. Nobody thet lives out here'd try to make Hazard Pass for th' first time in th' middle o' May." "I don't see " "Look up there."
It did not disturb Mr. Bloomer, however. "Posy here'd be a good hand aboard a lightship," he observed. "Her talk'd NEVER run out." Primmie sniffed disgust. "I wish you wouldn't keep callin' me 'Posy' and such names, Zach Bloomer," she snapped. "Yesterday he called me 'Old Bouquet, Mr. Bangs. My name's Primrose and he knows it."
You couldn't go straight, but would have ter circle out an' travel mostly behind that ridge o' sand thar to the left. Goin' that a-way nobody's likely ter get sight o' yer on foot. You couldn't take no hoss, though. Here'd be my plan; lead this yere outfit o' mine an' your ponies back inter them sand dunes whar nobody ever goes.
They'd be happy thoughts they'd be the sort of thoughts that sustained Andy and millions like him, frae Britain, and America, and Canada, and Australia, and everywhere whence men went forth to fight the Hun. Weel, here'd be Andy, coming hame. And they're telling me Jennie wad be meeting him, and giving him a big, grimy hand to shake.
"By hivens, sergeant!" he spluttered, "if ye'll meet me afterwards, without your stripes on, I'll I'll give ye what Jan here'd give your bloody wolf, if ye had the honesty to l'ave 'em to ut." Jan dragged back momentarily, and in justice to Sourdough's gameness, be it said the husky struggled hard from his master's entwining arms to be at the enemy again on three legs.

Texas Kid. The laws here have got mustard spread between 'em. These people here'd stretch you out like a frog that had been stepped on, and give you about fifty sticks at every corner of the plaza. And they'd wear every stick out, too. What was left of you they'd feed to alligators."
