They wanted his mind to be utterly free from care, so that he could give his full attention to tackin' up a Diamond Dot record that would arouse the envy of the entire West, an' Flappy was in fine shape to do it. We all started out to find Dick, whether he was still hidin' around the ranch or had started to hike; but it was Barbie herself who found him.
Scarcely breathing, she raised the latch, drew the door inward a distance of half an inch and set one of her bright old eyes to the crack. She saw the skipper kneeling in a corner of the kitchen, with his back to her and a candle on the floor beside him. He seemed to be working busily and heavily, but not a sound of his toil reached her eager ears. "He bes hidin' something'," she reflected.
The morning after her return, she got a lift in the baker's cart and drove out to inspect John's children. What she saw and heard on this visit was disquieting. The children had run wild, were grown dirty, sly, untruthful. Especially the boy. "A young Satan, and that's a fact, Mrs. Mahony! What he needs is a man's hand over him, and a good hidin' six days outer seven."
It was what could be expected so her voice implied; if she left the shanty alone, the rightful owner could then take back what the law would not allow if the squatters remained. "Ye be a goin' to stay here to-morry?" asked Tess later by five minutes. "If I may." "Be ye goin' to tell me what ye air hidin' for?" Frederick threw back his head and laughed. He had forgotten to tell her. "Of course.
But from what Moll Hawk sez there's a scheme on foot to get the best of Rachel Gwyn by grabbin' Violy some night an' rushin' her to a hidin' place down the river where Barry figgers he c'n persuade her to marry him an' live happy ever afterwards, as the sayin' is.
He began to talk before he struck the ground, breathlessly, like a man who had beheld unbelievable things. "That gang from Texas has took the town everybody's hidin' out," he reported. "Took the town?" said Stilwell, incredulously.
Don't notice him if he looks you over, Buck. Benson is scared to death of every new-comer who rustles into Bland's camp. An' the reason, I take it, is because he's done somebody dirt. He's hidin'. Not from a sheriff or ranger! Men who hide from them don't act like Jackrabbit Benson. He's hidin' from some guy who's huntin' him to kill him.
"Meet you?" he retorted, arising, to tower above his foeman like a mast. "Iron me, Johnny! if I can crawl in the hole to find you where you're hidin' I'll make you wish for hair a mile long, to stand on your head in your pitiful scare!" "Oh, fie! Oh, bah!" said the cook, scanning the teamster's length with ill-concealed awe. "Buzzard, you toy with languages.
"Some skunk hidin' in the timber this side of Medicine Creek, figured ter do me in with it. Poisoned, ain't it?" Hoskin took the weapon and critically examined its barbed point. "Yep," he nodded meaningly, handing it back. "It's sure poisoned. A scratch with it would kill you right away. Got any partic'lar enemy among them Injuns hangin' out along your way?
'No, he ain't, said Peterson. 'It's true, strike me breath. We got a specimen this mornin' wif three colours in it. 'So if anyone's told where we're hidin' they'll see the stone an' go an' jump the mine, said Dick artfully.
