The director nodded. He was wondering how much he would have to raise this young man's salary to hold him from rival companies. "Sho! I just fell out of the saddle, Frank. Most any one can fall off a horse." Harrison laughed spitefully. "I saw him do a better fall than that oncet." Farrar was on the spot. "I saw you do a mighty good one the same day."
"This'll cure her, ef ennything will," she said, as she entered the room again; but her heart sank as she saw Ramona's eyes roving restlessly over Felipe's face, no sign of recognition in them. "She's bad," she said, her lips trembling; "but, 'never say die! ez allers our motto; 'tain't never tew late fur ennything but oncet, 'n' yer can't tell when thet time's come till it's past 'n' gone."

If we could see the last of that man Didenhover oncet, I'd take hold of the plough myself and see if I couldn't make a living out of it!

Because sometimes you arrive where you are going to partly smeared over the trucks and in no condition fur to be made welcome to our city, as Doctor Kirby would say. Sometimes you don't arrive.
