"All right," replied Bounce, laying bare his broad chest as if to receive the knife, "only, p'r'aps, ye'll allow me to eat the first slice off myself afore ye begin, 'cause I couldn't well have my share afterwards, d'ye see? But, now I think on't, I'd be rather a tough morsel. Young meat's gin'rally thought the tenderest. Wot say ye to cuttin' up March first, an' tryin' me nixt?"
"They'll starve us out if they can't take us by charging," said Simpson. "They can't starve me as long as your mule holds out, Lew, for I won't eat poor Sable; it would choke me," replied Billy. "Well, mule meat's good," said Woods. "Yes, when there ain't anything else to eat, but I prefer buff'ler or Injun," was Billy's response. "We may have to eat Injun yet," laughed Lew Simpson.
This sudden impulse from that moment controlled his conduct; and his mind was constantly casting about for the means of effecting what was now his one great purpose- escape. Instead of uttering in reply to Bear's Meat's question the simple truth, therefore, he rather sought for such an answer as might make the process in which he was engaged appear imposing and mystical.
"You needn't pack any more chips to the smoke-house: the last meat's smoked enough." "Very well, then. You shall have every basketful of them for your own fire." "If you can keep them from the negroes: negroes love chips." "I'll save them while I chop. You shall have them, if I have to catch them as they fly." His hunger had been satisfied: his spirits began to rise.
He took off another cover, and shook his head in solemn doubt. "Here's the green meat. I doot green meat's windy diet for a man at my time o' life!" He put the cover on again, and tried the next dish. "The fesh? What the de'il does the woman fry the trout for? Boil it next time, ye betch, wi' a pinch o' saut and a spunefu' o' vinegar."
Pens and ink are cheap, and you can take my classes in the summer, and give me quietness to write my book on 'The Abuses of Ut with the Subjunctive." "But I must find lodgings " interrupted Ralph. "You must find nothing just bide here. It is the house of your nearest kin, and the fittest place for you. Your meat's neither here nor there, and my lasses "
We will take one apiece; that will give us as much flesh as the waggons can load up, and I don't hold to taking life unless the meat's wanted. Now, lad, all that you have got to do is, when you ride down just single out your beast, ride alongside of him, and empty your Colt behind his shoulder. Keep rather behind him, and have your horse well in hand to wheel if he twists round and charges you."
The cream in it was delicious, and he ate with appreciation. To him, as to many middle-aged Americans, the two vital parts of a meal were the meat and the dessert. The added pleasures or comforting consolations of soup, salads, vegetables, entrées, made dishes, were not for him. He ate them, but with a robust indifference. "Meat's business," he was wont to say, "and dessert's fun.
But men are so different. One man's meat's another man's pison. See what a double chin he's got. No beard on him, either, though a goatee would have been becoming to such a round face. He hasn't got on a sword, and I reckon he was no soldier; fit some when he was a boy, maybe, or went out with the home-guard, but not a regular warrior. I ain't one myself, and I think all the better of him for it.
I had better tether it before the cabin away from the wind. "But I thought wild beasts never came so near," I said quickly. "Mule meat's mighty temptin'," said the girl sententiously and passed on.
