"Me and the little fellas just drift along. We get work at the camps when our grubstake's gone; and then we ramble on and on just driftin', kinda. I got a ole jack rabbit for supper, pardner. He was sleepin' under a sagebrush, and I puts out his eye with my six and twenty paces. Can you do that? But you're young young and got a clever eye. Anyway, I got a ole jack for supper.
Maybe it'll make me kinda forget there's a blizzard on." "Another one?" Thurston got up to scratch a trench in the half-inch layer of frost on the cabin window. "Why, it only cleared up this morning after three days of it." "Can't help that. This is just another chapter uh that same story.

She thinks the sun rises an' sets in me, so she'll do just what I say."

Having so bottled his companion's flow of words, the other spoke directly to Jeems. "My men made a mistake. All right. That's over and done with; they'll get theirs. Now let's get down to business.
His stiffened body slackened as he shifted his feet against the stove. "Why why, I kinda hoped it was something like that," he murmured; and he was talking more to himself than to Denny.
