Say, we waste enough stuff over here to keep that whole country in food for a hundred years. Yessir. And tools! Outta the ark, believe me. If they ever saw our tractor, they'd think it was the Germans comin' back. But they're smart at that. I picked up a lot of new ideas over there. And you ought to see the old birds womenfolks and men about eighty years old runnin' everything on the farm.

"Bet th’ captain is as techy as a teased snake every time he thinks ’bout you two. Wanted to have you all corralled nice an’ neat out to th’ camp where he could use his hooks an’ make at least three ride mounts outta you. I’d walk soft near him for a while, or you’ll have about as much chance as hens amblin’ into a coyote powwow."
Shannon’s eyes flickered again, this time to the locked cupboard. "Heard tell—leastways Callie’s been spoutin’ it around—that you was with General Forrest." "Yes." "You sure musta pulled outta th’ war better’n th’ rest of us poor Rebs. Got you a couple of blooded hosses an’ a good heavy money belt. A sight more luck than th’ rest of us had—"
"Johnny, what kinda game you tryin’? You know these kids are straight; them an’ their ol’ man’s come to work th’ Range for wild ones on Rennie’s own askin’. Takin’ a quirt to th’ kid, eh?" Kells’ voice slid up the scale. "You sure have yourself a snootful tonight! Now you jus’ walk yourself outta here on th’ bounce. I’m doin’ th’ sayin’ of what goes on, on my own property."
"One more move outta you and I'll freeze you so solid you'll think you're a chunk of ice!" he yelled. Mason stepped to the other side of the control deck. They had Tom blocked on either side. "Now get back to them controls, Corbett," snarled Loring, "or I'll give it to you right now." "O.K., Loring, you win," said Tom. He sat down and faced the control panel. He tried hard not to smile.
"Me, I’ve been trailin’ round this here country since th’ moon was two-bit size. An’ I ain’t set my moccasins on all o’ it yet. Thar’s parts maybe even an Injun ain’t seed neither. You jus’ outta th’ army, son?" Drew nodded. Apparently he could not escape that part of his past, and there was no reason to deny it. "Iffen you be huntin’ a job—Don Cazar, he’s always ready to hire on wagon guards.
"It was then the next feller's turn, and he started in, while Number Two shinned up the tree to get the jacks off en the limb. Number Four hadn't came to bat yet, so the performance was due to last some time. I got up on a big rock, outta range. "Number Two was in the tree; Number Three flippin'; Number Four was a rollin' up his sleeves an' gettin' ready for his turn.
"It sure is! Me, Johnny Shannon! An’ I’m ridin’ outta here free’n clear or else I’ll do what I said. I mean that, Rennie! I surely do mean it. You lose me an’ you git your real son—good bargain, ain’t it?" "You won’t ride free for long, Johnny. You know that." "I can have me a pretty good try, Rennie. This here’s my country an’ I know it well—better’n any but your men.
Drew had already thought that out. "Now, you’ve some tall talkin’ to do your ownself. I saw you roll out of your saddle back in Tennessee. How come you turn up here and now?" Anse sluiced water over his head and shoulders with cupped hands. "Do I tell it jus’ like it happened, you’ll think I’m callin’ up mountains outta prairie-dog hills, it’s that crazy.
