Weatherby," explained Sol Peterkin, carefully closing the shutter after his entrance. "My wife's took so bad that I'm beginnin' to fear she'll turn out as po' a bargain as the last. It's my luck I always knew I was ill-fated but, Lord a-mercy, how's a man goin' to tell the state of a woman's innards from the way she looks on top?
You can't get me there quick enough to suit me." At the hospital she faced Doctor Carey. "I think likely some of my innards has got to be cut out and mended," she said. "I'll jest take a few minutes of your time to examination me, and see what you can do." In the private office she held the letters toward the doctor. "They hain't no manner of sickness ailin' me, Doc.
"But ruinous in delicate instruments! That's why we're so careful." Holati Tate glanced at Trigger. "Better look in the black box, Trig," he said. She nodded and wormed herself farther into the innards of the transmitters. A minute later she announced, "Full of it! And that's the one part we can't repair or replace, of course. Is it your beast, Professor?"
The two of them toppled forward together. Their arms were upon the flat surface, while their bodies dangled. The feel of gravity pulling them slantwise and downward was purest nightmare. But then, as Joe's innards crawled, the same stocky man who had knocked the lean man back was dragging frantically at both of them to pull them to safety. Then there were two men pulling.
"When I's nigh out ob my wits, so's my innards feels like nuffin' but warmish water, I gits whitey-grey in de chops, so I's told, an' blue in de lips, an' I pretends nuffin' I don't care who sees it!" The track for some distance beyond this point became worse and worse.
It was the roughest crossing I've ever experienced, and there was no time to indulge in "that periscope feeling," so aptly described by Bairnsfather; we were too busy exercising Christian Science on our "innards" and trying not to think of all the indigestible things we'd eaten the night before! We rose on mountains of waves one moment and then descended into positive valleys the next.
This poverty of equipment was, however, compensated by opposite statements from Jim of the extraordinary results obtained by these simple weapons from "fellers I knew:" how HE himself had once brought down a "bull" by a bold shot with a revolver through its open bellowing mouth that pierced his "innards;" how a friend of his an intimate in fact now in jail at Louisville for killing a sheriff's deputy, had once found himself alone and dismounted with a simple clasp-knife and a lariat among a herd of buffaloes; how, leaping calmly upon the shaggy shoulders of the biggest bull, he lashed himself with the lariat firmly to its horns, goading it onward with his clasp-knife, and subsisting for days upon the flesh cut from its living body, until, abandoned by its fellows and exhausted by the loss of blood, it finally succumbed to its victor at the very outskirts of the camp to which he had artfully driven it!
God bless us, one acre of the Sandhills is worth a vast estate of tin mines and golf links to feed the innards of Yours affectionately, P.S. And cornfield peas, of just the right rankness, cooked with just the right dryness.
Wot then, hath this fine, upstanding cock o' cocks thrashed all the hell-fire spirit out o' ye, Andy lad? Love my innards I thought no man aboard could do as much, Andy." "He jumped me from behind!" says the fellow Andy 'twixt snarl and groan and writhing under my 'prisoning feet. "And where," says the fat man, smiling at me, "where might you ha' come from, my bird o' price?
"She has no mercy, you know! When she comes spluttering down, out go your innards. One can't help being afraid," he said laughing. Several of the men, with bright kindly faces, stopped beside Pierre. They seemed not to have expected him to talk like anybody else, and the discovery that he did so delighted them. "It's the business of us soldiers. But in a gentleman it's wonderful!
