That's their sate whenever they meet; an' a snug one it is for them that don't like their neighbors' eyes to be upon them. Go now an' satisfy yourself, but watch them at a distance, an', as you expect to save your sister, don't breathe the name of Nell M'Collum to a livin' mortal." Meehaul Neil's cheek flushed with deep resentment on hearing this disagreeable intelligence.
If my life figures in her happiness, an' I'm savin' that life while you take your chance of penitentiary an' the 'chair, wal, I guess she'll go miserable fer jest as many years as she goes on livin'." The Padre turned away. It was impossible for him to longer face those earnest young eyes pleading to be allowed to give their life for his liberty.
"Where you goin'?" came next from his companion. "Nowhere," just as short. "Folks livin'?" "No." "How long been dead?" "Since I was a little fellow." "Ain't you got no relations?" "Don't want any if they're like an aunt of mine." Uncle Bobbie nodded in sympathy. "How'd you happen to strike this place?" Dick told him in three words, "Lookin' for work." "Udell's a mighty fine fellow."

He's accustomed to livin sailor fashion, you know, and he has declared over and over again to me that woman-cookin' doesn't agree with him."

She's kind o' yaller-complected, but some says she's smart. Bill Harbison was smart too, but he's all broke up now. They don't own nothin' but the house and grounds they're livin' in." "Laws!" poured in the steady washer-woman, "I used to work fer Mis' Harbison when she was well off I done knit socks and pieced quilts and she was always liber'l, so she was.

She'd lived for him twenty years and seen him come into his rights, and I reckon she thought her work was done. Dyin' for people is a heap easier'n livin' for 'em, anyhow.
"An' you mean to tell me to my face," said a scandalized farmer, watching me assorting and naming the specimens taken from my field box, "you mean to tell me you're givin' every one o' them bugs a name, same's a baptized Christian? Adam named every livin' thing, an' Adam called them things Caterpillars an' Butterflies.
