But I'll say right here, he's wide enough to beat most any feller at any bluff he's got savvee to put up. Howsum, every 'smart' falls fer things at times. Y'see, they get lookin' fer rich strikes that hard, an' are so busy keppin' other folks out o' them, it's dead easy gettin' 'em trippin'. Guess that tow-headed sucker, Zip, 's got him trippin' about now, sure." Minky shook his head.
He's fed the kiddies, which was the most ne'ssary thing. As for keppin' the place clean," he pointed at the small sea of milk which still stood in pools on the floor "I don't guess he's much when it comes to cleanin' anything not even hisself. I 'low he's wrecked things some. Ther's a heap of milk wasted. Howsum " "Say!" cried the outraged Sunny. But Bill would allow no interruption.
Say, he wus the harmlessest lad as ever jerked a rope or slung a leg over a stock saddle. An' as slick a hand as ther' ever wus around this ranch. I tell ye he could teach every one of us, he wus that handy; an' that's a long trail, I 'lows. Wal, we wus runnin' in a bunch of outlaws fer brandin', an' he wus makin' to rope an old bull. Howsum he got him kind o' awkward.
"I allow you ken get right at it and fix it in. This camp ain't goin' to be struck till the sweet food's done. Guess you'll mostly need physic 'fore you're through, sure. Howsum, your mam's 'll see to it."
Howsum," he sighed, "I don't guess you ken never rightly tell." A flush began to warm Scipio's cheeks. He couldn't understand. He wondered hard, vainly endeavoring to grasp wherein he had offended. "I I don't get you," he said, in a bewildered fashion, dropping the garment he was washing back into the soapsuds. Bill's expression underwent another change as he caught at the words.
Instead, his calm voice, with its wonderful power of reassurance, fell upon the stillness of the night. "Little gal, things are jest as they must be. The blame is on me fer not bein' quicker an' handier wi' my gun when I had the chance. But, howsum, Parker's a hefty man. He ken think an' act quick. We're ready, far as we ken be." Rosebud dried her tears.
"Fellers on the 'inside' don't figger to hand around their pedigrees usual. Howsum, I allow I come right along to pass you a friendly warning, which kind o' makes it reasonable to tell you the things folk don't usually inquire north of 'sixty. Yep. I live around this river, an' hand the neches a bum sort o' trade fer their wares. Guess I scratch a livin', if you can call it that way, up here.
"Maybe you sing different later. Bah! you make me laff. Say, I ready." "Yes, git right ahead an' laff," Arizona replied imperturbably. "An' meanwhiles while you're laffin', I'll trouble you to git out o' that sheep's hide. It ain't fit clothin' fer you noways. Howsum, it helps to thicken your hide. Take it off." The half-breed obeyed and the two men now stood motionless.
Howsum, we'll make somewheres by nightfall. Seems to me I got a notion o' that hill, yonder. That one, out there," he went on, pointing with his whip at a bald, black cone rising in the distance against the sky. "That kind o' seems like the peak o' Devil's Hill. I ain't jest sure, but it seems like." Mercy looked in the direction.
Howsum, when folks git gay I can't see you're right to hold your hand. Now, them rights are sold by the law fellers of that widder woman, an', I guess, actin' under her instructions. Now, she knows she don't own no rights to sell. Wal, I allow she's on the crook." "Crook?" Jeff's interrogation came swiftly, in a harsh voice utterly unlike his own.
