Reckon she thinks I've skedaddled fer good this time, an' 'ill be a takin' up with some other male critter lest I git back thar mighty sudden. Women's odd, Cap, durn nigh as ornary 'bout some things as a muel."
He turned in his seat and spoke to his passengers, catching Dixon Mallaby's eye. "Ah be goin' to show 'ee, sir," he said, "how three ornary hacks, rightly drove, can take a dip an' a rise, even with a load like you gentlemen makes. Howd tight." Then to Amaryllis he said, with paternal tenderness: "Don't you be fallin' off now, my dear. And grab t' rail, not me, when they bump into their collars."

"He wants to know, pa, if thar's a short cut from the ornary over to Jordan's Journey," he repeated.
Pavlovitch waved a hand towards the sullen mountains of Albania, which were on our right. "Dose Swabs don' tink o' nuttin' but killin'. Jess ornary slaughter, Mister Jim. Sure. Dese peoples don' respect nuttin but killin'; an' when you've done in 'bout fifty other fellers you'r reckoned a almighty tough.
Fact is he mighty seldom looks the same, fer thet's part o' his game. Them whiskers is false, an' so is the saller look to his face. I 've seen him in all sorts o' disguises. It's only his eyes he can't hide, an' thar's been times when I thought they wus the ugliest eyes ever I saw. He's sure an ornary devil, an' when he gits mad, I'd rather be afront of a tiger.

Case wuz his name, a leettle man, but worth mor'n a dozen ornary men.
But to Grace, that night, she said inconsistently, her gray crest bristling with impatience: "Honey, anything in this wohld that's worth havin' is worth fightin' foh! Yuh are no Cahteh if yuh stand foh anybody's runnin' off yuah stock. Neveh yuh mind haow wild an' ornary he 'peahs to be just now, that fool boy is a thorrerbred at heart, and the best on 'em go loco by spells.
"Sit down, honey, and we'll tell you about it. There! Thet's a dear. Matlock an' one uv his critters fired the haystacks an' cut the ditches so's Ken wouldn't hev no water to save 'em with. An' Red he see one uv 'em ridin' off an' runs him down an' shoots him up right! But the ornary cuss shoots back an' Red gets it in ther laig an' thet's all they is to it.
