But Christie had already possessed herself of the unlucky object, and had placed it upon the table.
That's what I said to him, sez I. 'Don't send no note, but just go up there and hev it out fair and square, and say what you do mean. But they would hev the note, and I kalkilated to bring it.
It is related that an inebriated miner, impeded by mud and drink before its door, was found gazing at its remarkable facade with an expression of the deepest despondency.

"They ain't exactly THAT," said Roberts, still with embarrassment.
'Wait till the Ditch is done, he used to say. 'Wait till she begins to boom, and then you just stand round. Mor'n that, he got all the boys to put in their last cent for they loved Ned, and love him now, like ez ef he wos a woman." "That's so," said Clinch and Rawlins simultaneously, "and he's worth it." "Well," continued Zenobia, "the Ditch didn't boom ez soon ez they kalkilated.
And the joke caught on and the other girls jined in, and it kinder cheered 'em, for they was wantin' it.
