"At last the Lance gives Black Cloud a patronisin' smile an' says that his medicine'll cure the pony sound an' well while you're crackin' off a gun.
"We've got Marshal, Mr. Wally." "Give him to Murty," Wally answered as he ran. "I'm riding Shannon." He raced on. "That means he's going across country," said Dave Boone. "For two pins I'd go too." "Don't you you'd never get your horse over them fences," Shanahan said. "An' it'll take Mr. Wally all his time to get across them wired paddocks of Maclennan's. Hope he don't break Shannon's laigs."

Now my idee is, that if we can cross 'em with these Cochin Chiny fowls we'll have a low-hung, heavyweight chicken runnin' strong on breast meat.

We couldn't, for wasn't our own house waiting for us?
And of course I was sorry that I had kicked my valise. "Oh, I could tell yu'd been enjoyin' us!" said Scipio. "Observin' somebody else's scrape always kind o' rests me too. Maybe you're a philosopher, but maybe there's a pair of us drawd in this deal." Approval now grew plain upon the face of the Virginian. "By your laigs," said he, "you are used to the saddle."
"So de hawnet flewed up ter Kunnel Pen'leton's stable en stung Lightnin' Bug roun' de laigs, en de nex' mawnin' Lightnin' Bug's knees wuz all swoll' up, twice't ez big ez dey oughter be.
