I hed a'most sighted him when I seed the flash o' the thing's eye, an' I knowed it wur a-gwine to strike the gal." "And Jack?" I inquired, now for the first time thinking of the boy. "I guess he's safe enuf, Cap'n. I sent the little feller back with word ter the kurnel." "Ha! then we may expect them from camp?"
The witness grinned incredulously, revealing thereby a few blackened fragments of teeth. "I 've tuck up more 'n a hundred niggers fer stealin', Kurnel, an' I never seed one yit that did n' 'ny it ter the las'." "Answer my question. Might not the witness's indignation have been a manifestation of conscious innocence? Yes or no?" "Yes, it mought, an' the moon mought fall but it don't."
"God bless you and reward you for all your kindness to me," said Paul, bidding him good by, and shaking hands for the last time. "I'se sorry to part with ye, Kurnel, but I bless de Lord you is gwine. We'll meet again one of dese days, whar de Rebs won't trouble us, and whar we will be free foreber," said the old negro, looking up into heaven. He could not go. He was a slave.
They wa'n't Injuns; they war whites. A'n't that what ye mean, Kurnel Meoranda?" "Precisamente!" is the colonel's reply. The other two wait for him to continue on with the explanation Wilder has already surmised. Even the young prairie merchant less experienced in Mexican ways and wickedness, in infamy so incredible begins to have a glimmering of the truth.

"There was a Kurnel Dun dun plague take his name, I can't recollect it, but it makes no odds I know he is Dun for, though, that's a fact. Well, he was a British kurnel, that was out to Halifax when I was there. I know'd him by sight, I didn't know him by talk, for I didn't fill then the dignified situation I now do, of Attache.
"'Not till I'm paid fer the lumber, they don't! says the guy he calls Jim Burns. 'Gimme eighty-six dollars, Kurnel, if you want to use them stalls. "'I'll have the law on ye sure as my name's Hunter! says the old Jasper. "'I guess you won't, says Burns. 'My lawyer tells me to lock them stalls. "'Who's your lawyer? says the old Jasper. "Harry Evans," says Burns.
"Faith, Kurnel, that is Gineral . Would ye like an inthroduction, Kurnel?" "Yes, yes," said Desmit impatiently. "Thin come wid me. Shure I'll give ye one, an' tell him ye sint him a dhrink of auld pache to cilebrate the good news with. Come along, thin!" Just as they stepped upon the bridge Desmit heard a lank Hoosier ask, "What is in them bar'ls?" And some one answered, "Turpentine."
For my part, I don't see why a man can't make his own skin as clean as a kid's, any time; and if a feller can't be let shake hands with a gall except he has a glove on, why ain't he made to cover his lips, and kiss thro' kid skin too. "But to get back to the kurnel, and it's a pity he hadn't had a glove over his mouth, that's a fact.
Lawrence will dine with us this evening, Manuela, so you'd better see to having covers laid for three or, perhaps, for four. It may be that Senhor Quashy will honour us with " "T'ankee, kurnel, you's bery kind, but I's got a prebious engagement." "A previous engagement, eh?" repeated the colonel, much tickled with the excuse.
