Anyway, yuh ain't got any call to cuss Sunfish; he ain't to blame. He's used to fellows that can ride." "Shut up!" Thurston commanded inelegantly. "I'd like to see you ride a horse when he's upside down!" "Aw, come on," urged Bob, giving up the argument. "We'll be plumb lost from the herd if we don't hustle."
A bullet, sir!" he volunteered as he limped beside me. "A shattered knee-cap to remind me of my vivid youth, an awkward limp to keep in my mind the lovely cause aha, she was all clinging tenderness and plump as a partridge then. I was her Eugenio and she my Sacharissa a withered crone to-day, sir, and, alas, most inelegantly slim, I hear bones, a temper, an eagle's beak and nut-cracker chin!
