"Say, Phil, ye know I cut the chape Neosho crowd last evening up to Rid Range fur that black-eyed little Irish girl they call Kathleen. So I came home afterwhoile behind you, not carin' to contaminate meself wid such a common set after me pleasant company at Rid Range." "Well, we managed to pull through without you, O'mie, but don't let it happen again.
I was only twenty-one and Judson may have been right about my being callow. But I was satisfied with myself, as youth and inexperience will be. Travelling was slow in those rough-going times, and a breakdown on a steep bit of road delayed us. Instead of reaching home at sunset, we did not reach the ford of the Neosho until eight o'clock.
