"I guess we'll talk things over together first before ever I do anything," Billy was saying to Saxon. "Listen to that," Mary triumphed. "You bet the man that marries me'll have to talk things over first." "Billy's only givin' her hot air," Bert plagued. "They all do it before they're married." Mary sniffed contemptuously. "I'll bet Saxon leads him around by the nose.
"I wish I could be here some Sunday evening," said I. "William an' me'll be talkin' about you an' thinkin' o' this nice day," said Mrs. Blackett affectionately, and she glanced at William, and he looked up bravely and nodded. I began to discover that he and his sister could not speak their deeper feelings before each other. "Now I want you an' mother to sing," said Mrs.
The Cap'n glared on him severely. "Do you think it's a decent proposition to step up to me and ask me to sell you gold dollars for a cent apiece? When you came on this trip you understood that Bodge was mine, and that he and this scheme wa'n't for sale. Don't ever mention it again or you and me'll have trouble." And Colonel Ward went back to watch the digging, angry, lusting, and disheartened.
"Well, for God's sake," retorted Pap Himes testily, "why don't you wed the gal and be done with it? You wed Johnnie Consadine and get that writin', and I'll never tell on you 'bout the old man and such; and you and me'll share the mine." Shade gave him a black look. "You're a good talker," he said sententiously. "If I could do things as easy as you can tell 'em, I'd be president."
He smiled flirtatiously at her. "Then I decided to go ahead. I dunno, but I somehow kinder allow you and me'll hit it off purty well don't you?" Susan tried to speak.

Some of my friends live down by the ferry, and I'll pick them up, if they want to get out. Don't you want to come along? My wife and me'll be glad to put you up if you can't do any better." Isabel thanked him warmly, and assured him that she would be safe in any case, then discovered a loose half-dollar in the pocket of her jacket. The man accepted it philosophically.
"I reckon we parts company hyar," he said, "but I feels like we've done accomplished a right good day's work. Termorrow Hump an' me'll fare over ter yore house and git yore answer." "I'm obleeged," responded the new chief of the Thorntons, but when he was left alone he did not ride on to the house in the river bend.
He clanked down a glass of long-range liquid, and glared down at me with a monitory forefinger pointing straight between my eyes: "Now you look here, Shorty," he drawled; "you're a friend of mine, and whatever you say goes, as long as I ain't all caved in! But you cut that out, and don't you say that out loud again, or you and me'll be having to scrap the whole outfit!" He resumed his glass.
You go free till about this time next year, anyhow. You an' me'll celebrate the birthday between ourselves with that contrac'. You needn't git oneasy Thanksgivin', or picnic-time, or Easter, or no other time 'twixt this an' nex' Christmas less'n, of co'se, you stray off an' git stole. An' this here reprieve, I want you to understand, is a present from the junior member of this firm.
"I've done for to-day, and Tom and me'll be as pleased as can be if you'll take a bit with us, Mrs Millicent. Molly, child, fetch forth the table-cloth, and get the salt-cellar, and then run and tell father. She's a handy little maid for her years," added Jenny, with motherly pride. Millicent smiled rather sadly. "You are a happy woman, Jenny!" she said. "Bless the Lord, so I am!" echoed Jenny.
