The calaboose is new then, an' we-alls is that proud an' anxious to try it an' put it to some use, we couldn't resist, so in Steve goes. "About four hours later Steve comes back up to the Red Light, hotter'n a burnt boot.
We'll set a spell out here, it's hotter'n blazes inside. Hey, Luis! Juan!" Two mozos scurried from the veranda in response to the bull-throated roar, and Thode found himself seated opposite his host with another tall glass before him and a slender black cigar between his fingers. "Great country for you folks, down here," Hallock remarked.
He drowned in three foot of water up above the bend, that's what he did. Come on. Let's be movin'. It'll be hotter'n blazes by eleven o'clock, and you oughtn't to be walkin' in the sun." The young man settled himself a little more comfortably against the tree. "I think I'll stay here in the shade for a while longer. Don't be uneasy. I shan't go popping into the water the minute your back's turned.
'Twas 'Come early and avoid the rush. Got so that Chris Badger hardly dast to use alcohol in his cigar-lighter. "Then, havin' dried us up, that revival feller begun to smoke us out. He preached six sermons on the evils of tobacco, and every one was hotter'n the last. Accordin' to him, if you smoked now you'd burn later on.
"For th' Lord's sake, have you broke out?" asked Red, disgustedly. "I'm goin' to hit the trail but just keep this afore yore mind: if By-and-by gits in any accidents or ain't in sight when I comes to town again, this here climate'll be a heep sight hotter'n it is now. No hard feelings, sabe? It's just a casual bit of advice. Come on, fellows, let's amble I'm hungry."
And then she sez, kinder wheedlin': 'But you will marry yer Sairy Anne, Johnnie, won't ye? And then, gittin' scared, I kinder forgot my manners, fer I said: 'No I'm d d if I will! An' I disremember what she said nex', but I found myself in the road, a-runnin' like a mad steer. Jee! that road was hotter'n a red-hot stove!"
Sorensen's Black Suitcase was still a problem to Thorn. He couldn't quite figure out what was in it. "Hotter'n Billy Blue Blazes!" Sorensen said as he put the Black Suitcase down on the gleaming white ground. He grinned a little, which dispelled for a moment his Angry Old Man expression, and said: "You ready to go, Mr. Thorn?" "I'm ready any time you are," Thorn said grumpily.
Then, still holding one hand closed upon the check, she untied her hat and fanned herself with it during the relief of sinking into a seat. "Do let me get my breath," she besought, yet as if she prolonged the moment for the sake of the dramatic weight the tale demanded. "Seems if I never experienced such a day as this. It's hotter'n any fall I ever see."
A good many of 'em had horned cattle to their wagons, and they crawled along about two miles an hour, hotter'n hell with the blower on, nothin' to look at but a mountain a week way, chuck full of alkali, plenty of sage-brush and rattlesnakes but mighty little water. Why, you boys know that country down there.
